The '''Marketpit''' is a location in [[Urteau]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb3|16}}
   
 
Before the [[Lord Ruler]] filtered the water for Urteau's canals down into the [[storage cavern]], it was the widest canal in the city and it could fit three boats moored in its center with enough room for other boats to pass on each side. After the canals emptied, it turned into a market.{{book ref|mb3|16}}
== Geography ==
 
Before the [[Lord Ruler]] filtered the water for Urteau's canals down into the [[storage cavern]], the Marketpit (which presumably didn't have this name) was the widest canal in the city and it could fit three boats moored in its center with enough room for other boats to pass on each side. After the canals emptied, it turned into a central boulevard of the city, causing many tradesmen and beggars to come to the pit.{{book ref|mb3|16}}

After [[Quellion]] took control of the city, he sometimes would address the people in the Marketpit and would hold executions near there.{{book ref|mb3|16}}{{book ref|mb3|38}}
The streetslot has stairs leading to a wealthier section of the city, where the canals have been filled in and cobbled. [[Quellion]] executed people by locking them in a former home of a nobleman and then burning it. The Citizen also commonly addressed his people in the Marketpit.{{book ref|mb3|16}}
 
 
== History ==
 
One day, [[Spook]] hired [[Durn]] to tell him the date of an execution, and Durn promised to tell him another tidbit. The execution happened next to the Marketpit, and Durn told Spook to count the skulls inside the house after the execution ended. After the execution, Quellion addressed the people in the streetslot, and Spook went to speak to [[Beldre]].
 
 
When Quellion saw him, he sent soldiers to attack Spook, including two Thugs. During the fight, one of the soldiers stabbed Spook by driving his sword through another soldier's heart, giving him through [[Hemalurgy]] Allomantical [[pewter]].{{book ref|mb3|16}} The fight ended with Spook being knocked out and later brought into a burning building, which he escaped by using pewter Allomancy.{{book ref|mb3|19}} Later, Spook discovered that there were only nine skulls in the building, though ten people had gone to be executed.{{book ref|mb3|38}}
 
 
Later, in another execution near Marketpit, Spook went to rescue the people trapped in the burning building.{{book ref|mb3|38}}{{book ref|mb3|41}} Most of the prisoners escaped, but Spook ended up trapped inside the building with a little girl. Burning pewter, he went through the flames and jumped out of a window. Then, [[Sazed]] and [[Breeze]] discovered that Spook was the Survivor of the Flames.{{book ref|mb3|41}}
