After the [[Lord Ruler]]'s death, the [[Inquisitors]] and high [[obligator]]s of the [[Canton of Inquisition]] retreat to the Conventical of Seran.{{book ref|mb2|7}} For some reason all of them abandon the building a couple of months before [[Ruin]]'s release from the [[Well of Ascension]], killing a lot of their servants and taking everything useful upon their departure.{{book ref|mb2|12}}▼

Two weeks after [[Ruin]]'s release from the [[Well of Ascension]] Sazed returns to the Conventical, alone. When he compares his copy from Kwaan's inscription with the original he notices that his copy doesn't match the text carved in steel, as expected.{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}}{{ref|text=[[Ruin]] manipulated Sazed's copy of the inscription so that [[Vin]] would give up the [[Well of Ascension]]'s power, leading to Ruin's release.{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}}|group=note}}▼
