After Leras died, the Shard was taken up by [[Kelsier]] for a very short time. He gave up the power to Vin following her battle with [[Marsh]]. The reasons why Vin was able to take the power remain shrouded in mystery (even to [[Sazed]] after he took up the Shard). When [[Marsh]] killed [[Elend]], Vin realized she had nothing more to live for, and killed herself and took Ati (Ruin's Shardholder) with her.
 
The end of Ruin was Preservation's plan all along. He needed someone new, and therefore not molded to Preservation's intent, to make the sacrifice needed to destroy Ruin. Leras spent too much time holding the Preservation Shard, and was thus unable to act against its [[intent]].
 
[[Sazed]] picked up both Preservation and Ruin following Vin's sacrifice, and is the current holder of both Shards.<ref>{{bref|mb3|c|82}}</ref>
