Some of the soldiers "attacked" by the mists in Elend's army were sick for 16 days{{book ref|mb3|40}}{{book ref|mb3|81}} rather than a few days. They were also exactly 1/16th of those who were struck. Others in the army consider them to be cursed because they took longer to recover. Multiple fights break out between them and the mistfallen, a name they presumably took upon themselves. Even General [[Demoux]] is attacked by a soldier, [[Bilg]], causing the soldier's execution. Elend finally decides to separate them from the main army, sending them away on the pretext of helping out the apparently dire situation in [[Luthadel]].{{book ref|mb3|47}} |
