| If you think any other important nobleman will ever pay any attention to you, then you are mistaken. Elend likes to shock the court—and so, naturally, he chose to do so with the most homely and lumpish woman he could find. Take this opportunity; you shall not soon find another.
Although Shan is self-centered, her beauty and charisma attract people to her.{{book ref|mb1|18}} She is highly informed about other members of the court, and she is both skilled and aggressive in house politics.{{book ref|mb1|18}} Those loyal to House Elariel, including a Terrisman steward and a number of Allomancers, are willing to perform subterfuge or even kill at her direction.{{book ref|mb1|30}}
