Vin reads from her copy of the [[Mistborn:_The_Final_Empire/Epigraphs|journal]] when Spook arrives. He tells her that Dockson came to get more weapons, and gives her a handkerchief to show that he would like to seriously court her. Dockson is in a meeting with Renoux, so Vin waits outside. While outside, Vin talks to Sazed about the Terrisman in the journal, and Sazed eventually tells her the secrets of Feruchemy. Sazed also explains how the Keepers were formed for the purpose of remembering everything after the Terris religion was lost.
