'''Preservation''' is a [[Shard|Shard of Adonalsium]]. Its original [[Shardholder]] was Leras, but has since bonded with [[Vin]] and its latest holder was [[Sazed]].
Preservation and [[Ruin]], the two [[Shard]]s on Scadrial, struck a deal to create sentient life on the planet. Preservation would have a sliver more of itself in humans, but Ruin would be allowed to destroy the world.
Preservation broke the terms of the agreement by sacrificing his mind to create a prison for Ruin's mind, preventing him from destroying the world. Furthermore, in an attempt to balance the power (since some of Preservation was now stored in humanity), he sequestered away a portion of Ruin's power in the metal [[atium]]. The [[Well of Ascension]], Preservation's liquid essence, was created to contain Ruin.
The mists of Scadrial were left behind by Preservation to awaken Allomancy in the inhabitants of Scadrial, albeit in a violent way. The mists were encouraged by Ruin to choke off sunlight to the land, and were named '''the Deepness''' since they prevented food from growing. They also provided power to enhance Allomancy by Vin, hundreds of years later.
===The Lord Ruler and the Collapse===
When [[Alendi]] travelled to the [[Well of Ascension]], Preservation attempted to stop him, and in attempting to do so, murdered one of Alendi's travelling companions. Afterward, [[Rashek]] took up the power in the Well to prevent the release of Ruin, and used it to reshape the world of Scadrial in an attempt to get rid of the mists. He was not very delicate with the power, starting with moving the world too close to the sun and having to make constant adjustments to compensate.
Preservation once again attempted to stop someone from giving up the power at the Well when Vin journeyed there when the Well refilled. Prior to this, Preservation had appeared to Vin on multiple occasions during the Siege of Luthadel, and to Sazed as he and [[Tindwyl]] were studying [[Kwaan]]'s inscription, found in the [[Conventical of Seran]], where it tore out a specific section of pages in order to attempt to give them a clue about the power at the Well. [[Elend]] when he, Vin and [[Spook]] were travelling to the Terris Dominance. Vin released Ruin accidentally, and it immediately went on a rampage to destroy Scadrial. Preservation wounded Elend in an attempt to get Vin to use the power, but when this failed, it showed her the last remaining lerasium bead in order to save Elend's life.
During the Siege of Fadrex, Preservation appeared one final time to Elend after seeing him almost ready to give up when escorting a large group of captured koloss back to Fadrex. By this time, Preservation was too weak to perform any significant actions and could only vaguely communicate with Elend, and shortly afterward, the remnants of it's mind were destroyed by Ruin, and Leras, fell out of the mists and into the ash as he died.
===The death of Ati===
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]].
[[Sazed]] picked up both Preservation and Ruin following Vin's sacrifice, and became the holder of both Shards following these events.
