| + | The '''Kandra Contract''' detailed the terms of service for the employment of a [[kandra]] in the [[Final Empire]]. Each service Contract uses the [[First Contract]] between the kandra people and the Lord Ruler as a base.{{ref|b|hoa|c|11}} Contracts could be purchased, with [[atium]], by leaving a message at a designated place in Luthadel. A kandra would then come to you and act as an intermediary while the papers were signed and payment collected. The kandra, a member of the fifth generation during the Mistborn trilogy, would then return to the [[Homeland]] where a kandra would be assigned to the Contract.{{ref|annotation|hoa|chapter=59}} The punishment for a kandra who broke Contract was death.{{ref|b|hoa|c|2}} The details of service Contracts were also entirely undisclosed to non-kandra, not even the Lord Ruler would have been informed. Although in all likelihood he could have demanded the information if he desired it.{{ref|annotation|hoa|chapter=59}} |
