What the storm did you do, you cremling son of a chull? I'll have you know I graduated at top of my class in the Windrunner Initiates. I have been involved in numerous secret campaigns against the Parshendi, and I have over 300 confirmed shards. I am trained in bridge-running and I am the top Windrunner in the entire Alethi military. You are nothing to me but another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Roshar, mark my words.
I think the fact that Endowment gives divine Breath to people who seemingly don’t have significant Return purposes - such as Calmseer sacrificing her divine Breath to heal her daughter - adds a particularly dangerous layer to her Intent, future sight, and planning
I believe her Intent, future sight, and planning isn’t only covering the greater scale purposes of the Five Scholars (especially Vasher), Lightsong, and Blushweaver… but it can also cover the lesser scale scope of just blessing the gift of spending one more week with family, or blessing the gift of living a few more years then healing a dying daughter.
Which… is particularly scary to me when you look at how Preservation was able to one up Ruin so often. Which I know doesn’t mean too much since Ruin’s future sight is between zero and abysmal but…
With that Ruin’s problem was ignoring sacrifice, selfessness, and “less significant individuals.”
If we assume that Ruin’s abysmal future sight encompasses the possibilities seen by atium+duralumin, then it seems Ruin foresaw the possibility of Elend’s death/sacrifice driving Vin to murder-suicide Ruin. But, this would mean he underestimated the possibility. Because he understimated the selflessness and love behind Vin and Elend’s sacrifices.
We see this trend with how he was screwed by over Preservation’s roles for Rashek, Elend, possibly the kandra, and Sazed.
He was too focused on Alendi and warping the prophecies, that he ignored the hateful Terrisman and (possibly) the Feruchemist with perfect memory. And that got Rashek to where Preservation wanted him to be.
He wanted to spike Elend, but ignored the importance of his loving sacrifice.
He used Sazed to get Vin to believe she was the Hero, and then tried to enflame Sazed’s depression. However, Ruin had absolutely no idea that Sazed is the Hero.
He knew the kandra existed, and they were sentient via his power. But he ignored them until the last minute because they weren’t destructive. And he paid the price for it.
Endowment has better future sight than Ruin by orders than magnitude. Much closer to Preservation, it appears. And she understands that some people just want to live a little more, and understands the potential of someone sacrificing their lives so someone else may live. But she also understands the importance of murder or destruction, and of plans spanning decades or centuries.
It seems her plans have involved Blushweaver’s murder, the Manywar happening, and the second Manywar almost happening. She was more involved than usual in the creation of Nightblood. Yesteel and Vasher don’t know this, but Yesteel’s experiments wouldn’t make another Nightblood.
