Who is the Ages' Hero?
Vin murdered the Lord Ruler to put an end to the Final Empire and bring freedom again. However, as a consequence, the deadly version of the omnipresent mists, known as the Deepness, has returned, bringing with it more ashfalls and stronger tremors. It seems like humanity is doomed.
After becoming a Mistborn himself to avoid certain death at the conclusion of The Well of Ascension, Emperor Elend Venture is searching for hints left by the Lord Ruler that would enable him to redeem the planet. Vin is so overcome with remorse about being duped into allowing the ethereal being known as Ruin to emerge from the Well. Ruin's near omniscience and capacity to distort reality make it appear impossible to halt its desire to kill the world. Ignoring Ruin's preparations, Vin is unable to even bring up the subject with Elend!
