}}{{uncanonical}}

'''[[Kelesina Shores]]'s party''' is an event in {{date|342|pc}} on [[Scadrial]]. Kelesina Shores hosted the party in her home in the city of [[New Seran]], on the edge of the [[Elendel Basin]]. It is notable for a number of reasons: [[Wax]] encountered both [[Hoid]] and [[Khrissalla]],{{book ref|mb6|11}}{{book ref|mb6|12}} he learned more about the activities of [[Mister Suit]] and the [[Set]],{{book ref|mb6|14}} and he came into possession of both an [[Feruchemy#Unkeyed Metalmind|unkeyed metalmind]] and an [[Feruchemy#Unsealed_Metalminds|unsealed metalmind]].{{book ref|mb6|11}}{{book ref|mb6|16}}

While searching for the [[Bands of Mourning]], the [[kandra]] [[ReLuur]] became "fixated" on a number of nobles in New Seran.{{book ref|mb6|3}} ReLuur believed that several of these nobles, including Kelesina Shores, had interactions with [[Edwarn Ladrian]]. Unfortunately, ReLuur's notes were not completed before he went insane due to the removal of one of his [[Hemalurgic]] spikes, so [[VenDell]] tasked [[Waxillium Ladrian]] with further investigation, starting with Kelesina's party. Wax took a train to New Seran, accompanied by [[Wayne]], [[Steris]], [[Marasi]], and [[MeLaan]].{{book ref|mb6|4}}

Marasi and Wayne skipped the party in order to search for clues regarding ReLuur's fate, while MeLaan decided to attend in the body of a muscular man.{{book ref|mb6|10}}{{book ref|mb6|12}} Wax was not looking forward to interacting with nobility, but Steris had prepared a notebook with information on all known attendees to help guide them. They ran into a beggar named [[Hoid]] on the way in, who gave Wax an [[Feruchemy#Unsealed Metalminds|unusual coin]]. They had an unpleasant encounter with a local noble, [[Gave Entrone]], who directed several thinly-veiled insults at the couple.{{book ref|mb6|11}} [[Khrissalla]] appeared on the dance floor and asks Wax several questions about the physics of his [[Allomantic]] and [[Feruchemical]] abilities, then quickly vanished.{{book ref|mb6|12}} Wax then met with an informant, [[Devlin Airs]], who told him that he had seen other strange coins changing hands and also gave him some tips about the [[Set]]'s activities in [[Dulsing]] and the anti-Elendel sentiment in the outer Basin.{{book ref|mb6|13}} Wax then talked to Kelesina Shores and spooked her by showing her the unusual coin.{{book ref|mb6|13}} Kelesina scurried away, but Steris created a distraction by forcing herself to vomit all over the table.{{book ref|mb6|13}}

While Steris recovered, Wax heard Mayor [[Bastien Severington]] of [[Bilming]] giving a speech denouncing Elendel and realized that civil war may have indeed been brewing. He retrieved a gun that Steris sneaked into the party and flew to a second floor balcony seeking Kelesina. He eventually found her and concealed himself nearby so he could hear her conversing with his uncle Edwarn, a high-ranking member of the Set also known as Mister Suit.{{book ref|mb6|14}} Wax believed that he had enough evidence to convict Kelesina, but was not sure about Suit.{{book ref|mb6|15}} [[Kelesina Shores's steward|Kelesina's Terriswoman steward]] rushed in to inform her that a [[Seeker]] in Kelesina's employ had detected Allomancy in the area, and Wax came out of hiding.{{book ref|mb6|15}}

Wax was disappointed to see that Suit was not present but was instead talking through an advanced communication device. Kelesina's steward revealed herself as a [[Pewter#Feruchemical_Use|Brute]] and attacked Wax, then took his gun and killed Kelesina with it, hoping to frame him for murder. Wax attempted to escape, but he encountered one of the Set's [[kill squad]]s, who were armed with [[aluminum]] weapons. Wax evaded them, but was caught by the steward; MeLaan showed up to help and they killed or disabled all of the attackers. Wax realized that Suit had always planned to have Kelesina killed, and retrieved a [[gold]] [[Feruchemy#Unkeyed Metalmind|unkeyed metalmind]] that she had on her person. He also took the communication device, which he planned to send to Elendel for inspection.{{book ref|mb6|16}}

Wax later cited the events of the party as an example of Steris being helpful, contrary to her position that she was irrelevant to his adventures.{{book ref|mb6|31}}
