'''Preservation''' was a [[Shard]] of [[Adonalsium]]. Its original [[Vessel]] was [[Leras]], but has since bondedbeen withheld by [[Kelsier]], [[Vin]], and [[Sazed]]., Itswho poweralso was "intermingled" withtook [[Ruin]]'s and "intermingled" the two powers, forming the shard [[Harmony]].{{reddit ref|Fantasy|1ced7z|c9hpuvd|text=Would Sazed drop Ruin and Preservation or Harmony?|date=2013-04-18}}
In the [[Terris]] religions Preservation was known as "Terr" as this meant "to preserve" in the ancient Terris language.{{book ref|mb3|75}}
 
 
=== The death of Ati ===
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 assaulted [[Ruin]], killing both [[Ati]] and herself in the process.
 
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, and was thus unable to act against its [[intent]].
