Preservation is worshipped as a god by many Scadrian cultures. The [[Terris]] have perhaps honored it the longest; they were worshipping it before [[The Lord Ruler]] as '''Terr''', and have kept it up even centuries after the [[Final Ascension]], when the Preservation was already merged into [[Harmony]].{{book ref|mb3|64}}{{book ref|mb6|prologue}} In the [[Southern Scadrial]], Preservation is worshipped as part of a pair of gods with [[Ruin]]; the two are known together as a single entity, the '''Jaggenmire''', with Preservation's part of it being called '''Frue'''. Frue is considered to be female, and the Jaggenmire are believed to be both siblings and spouses.{{book ref|mb6|22}}
The [[kandra]] have some knowledge of Preservation -- or, as they call it, the power of [[Ascension]] -- and its bearers. For an unknown reason, they're only aware of its last four Scadrian holders: [[Rashek]], [[Kelsier]], [[Vin]] and [[Sazed]].{{wob ref|4928}} They might be unaware of [[Leras]], or see him as something different.
Preservation is the author of the [[Terris Prophecies]], a set of legends that foretold the coming of the [[Hero of Ages]]. Leras created them as part of his plan to ultimately defeat Ruin, and although [[Ati]] twisted the prophecies over time to serve his ends instead, they were successful in this regard and have led to the creation of Harmony.{{wob ref|8056}} On a smaller scale, Leras, with aid of [[Kelsier]], was responsible for stabbing [[Elend]] at the [[Well of Ascension]], leading to him becoming a [[Mistborn]], and the mist spirit snapped Allomancers for many centuries.{{msh ref|2|4}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|72}}
