The Words of Founding are thought of as holy doctrine by [[Pathian]]s. Even followers of other religions such as [[Trellism]] hold the Words in high regard.{{book ref\|mb4\|11}} They contain a massive amount of information covering everything from religion to city planning documents for Elendel.{{book ref\|mb4\|1}}{{book ref\|mb4\|10}} They contain information that would be otherwise unknown to humans, including an extremely detailed chart of [[Feruchemical]] powers{{book ref\|mb6\|3}} and writings about [[kandra]]{{book ref\|mb5\|12}} and [[Kelsier]]'s brief stint as Preservation's vessel.{{book ref\|mb5\|14}} Notably, they do not discuss [[Hemalurgy]] beyond some vague indirect references.{{book ref\|mb5\|25}} [[Spook]] saw this as a mistake{{book ref\|mb5\|6}} and wrote a book that included information about Hemalurgy; Harmony did not agree with his actions but could not forbid him from writing the book.{{book ref\|mb5\|6}} The Words of Founding are divided into many volumes;{{book ref\|mb5\|18}} for example, a volume titled ''[[Beliefs Reborn]]'' ~~which~~includes details ~~the~~about ~~religions~~[[Larstaism]] offrom [[Classical Scadrial]],{{book ref\|mb6\|1}} while another section titled the [[Historica]] recounts the story of the [[Preservers]] and the Ascension of [[Vin]].{{book ref\|mb5\|11}}{{book ref\|mb5\|17}} They also contain hints about electricity{{book ref\|mb4\|3}} and powered flight,{{book ref\|mb4\|15}} as well as the existence of two new metals.{{book ref\|mb3\|Epilogue}} Because of their length, abridged versions of the Words of Founding are common.{{book ref\|mb6\|20}} Some religious sects also consider writings by other [[Originators]] as holy canon alongside the Words of Founding, although the [[Docksithium]] is universally ignored.{{book ref\|mb5\|19}} == Trivia ==
