Wayne escapes and Wax fights Miles barehanded. Miles overpowers Wax thanks to his healing ability until it becomes apparent that it was just a delaying tactic to allow Wayne to mobilise the constabulary. Marasi has had them in a [[cadmium]] bubble (slowing down time for those inside), allowing the constabulary to get there and arrest Miles.
Back at the constabulary, Marasi is turned down by Wax and Wax receives a forbearance from Brettin. This surprises Wax at Brettin's sudden change in character{{
Marasi watches Miles execution and Wax tracks down his uncle. Wax had suspected his uncle was still alive and playing the role of Mister Suit. [[Edwarn Ladrian]] still has possession of the kidnapped women and Wax's sister. Thinking his uncle broke, Edwarn shows Wax the broadsheet that announces Tekiel's collapse because of the robberies, explaining that they, Edwarn and his associates, bought the Tekiel's business. With no proof to incriminate his uncle Wax grows angry. He has to restrain himself from pulling out a gun but he assures his uncle that he will one day kill him.
;[[Trellism]]: Known adherents - [[Miles Dagouter]]
{{quote|Why had Trell made men like him, if not to see wrongs righted?|Miles, The Alloy of Law}}
:Little is known of the religion except that Trell is supposed to have made metalborns. The [[Words of Founding]] are said to contain a lengthy explanation of Trellism and its teachings, which indicates that metalborns were special.{{ref|b|aol|c|11}} There are theories{{17s ref
:In the novel ''Mistborn'', Trell is referenced as the god of the Nelazan people, who were said to have lived far to the North in Pre-Ascension times. The Nelazan worshipped darkness, glorifying the stars as the "Thousand Eyes of Trell" and dismissing the sun as profane. Their intricate star maps enabled Sazed to place Scadrial back in its proper orbit at the conclusion of ''Hero of Ages''. The connection between this ancient religion and its incarnation in ''Alloy of Law'' is unclear.
;''[[Spook|Lord Mistborn]]'': Spook is arguably the most prominent historical person in Elendel; the most powerful Mistborn of his time. He is renowned for writing in word most of Elendel's law, which [[Marasi]] remarks on one in which all trees in Elendel are required to produce edible food.
;''[[Vin|Ascendant Warrior]]'': Vin is noted by Marasi as a role model to modern women for defying societal conventions. This particularly plays into the "Real Women Never Wear Dresses" trope
;''[[Marsh|Ironeyes]]'': He is revered as a boogeyman, a legend to scare people. After surviving the [[Final Ascension]], Marsh assumed his former nickname as "Ironeyes" and served the interests of Harmony despite his reputation. During the events of The Alloy of Law, Marasi encountered Ironeyes. Marsh has stayed alive so long through the same technique the [[Lord Ruler]] employed with [[atium]].{{ref|?|727|3|What happened to Marsh?}}
