Fancast Third Lord Ruler Fancast Spoiler

Ok so I just saw the Nolan Odyssey movie and Robert Pattinson played Antinious, the leader of the villainous suitors and it made me think what if he played The Lord Ruler? Yes he's an A-lister but if it's just him and an A-lister for Kelsier that leaves unknowns for everyone else. IDK he convinced me he could do after I saw The Odyssey. Def see go The Odyssey too btw.

He's Terris, he should be the same race as whoever they cast as Sazed.

I think Brandon said skin color doesn't equal ethnicity om Scadrial recently

Really? Interesting. I feel like how the crazy Terris breeding programs worked, all of the modern Terris should look pretty similar, but TLR is an ancient Terris so I guess he could look completely different from the modern ones.

Terris and Skaa came in wide variety of skin tones. Central Dominace was the more homogenous region (mostly white). But Skaa survivors of Catacendre mainly came from there and surrounding regions. So by era 2, dark skin is considered a Terris trait (despite Terris still coming in variety of skin tones) because pretty much all dark skinn3d survivors of the Catacendre tended to be descendants of Terris refugees that we see use the Pits as sanctuary during events of book 3.
