“ There were a group of people before the Ascension known as the Astalsi. They claimed that each person was born with a certain finite amount of ill luck. And so, when an unfortunate event happened, they thought themselves blessed—thereafter, their lives could only get better. ”
Astalsi is an ancient religion from Scadrial. They don't survive the Lord Ruler's reign, but Sazed keeps knowledge about them in his metalminds.[2]
The Astalsi followers are rather advanced, and mix religion with science. They develop a detailed scale to express different colors, and think that these different colors are indications of different kinds of fortune.[1]
They believe that each person was born with a certain finite amount of bad luck, and for them a poor life was a sign of fortune yet to come. For this reason Sazed preaches the Astalsi religion to Vin, given that Vin already had been through a lot during her life.[1]
Trivia[edit]
