After the [[Siege of Fadrex City]], and [[Vin]]'s realization of Ruin's desire for [[atium]] - a portion of his power hidden from him by the [[Lord Ruler]], she took off towards [[Luthadel]] in a feignfeint to draw his attention, claiming that they had already found the cache. Ruin sent all of his [[Inquisitor]]s after Vin, to stop her and capture the cache, but soon realized her trick as she fought the Inquisitors over [[Kredik Shaw]]. However, [[Marsh]], desperately holding on to a portion of his sanity under Ruin's influence, is aided by [[Kelsier]], who has partial control of Preservation's power, is finally able to momentarily buck the control of Ruin, pushing out Vin's earring and allowing her to finally consume the [[mist]]s and draw in all of Preservation's power, defeating the Inquisitors and Ascending.

Shortly following Vin's Ascension, the coup, led by [[KanPaar]], inadvertently reveals the true location of the Lord Ruler's atium cache: the [[Trustwarren]]. Located adjacent to the [[Pits of Hathsin]], the Lord Ruler had cleverly hidden away the majority of the Atium mined there in a metal enclosed room within the [[kandra homeland]]. Ruin immediately tried to claim the [[kandra]] though their [[hemalurgy|hemalurgic]] [[Blessing]]s, but the vast majority of the kandra population carried out the [[Resolution]] of their [[First Contract]], removing their blessings and Ruin's hold over their population, sacrificing their sentience and reverting to [[mistwraith]]s. However, a few rebellious kandra remained, and Sazed is able to pen them within the Trustwarren just loglong enough for Elend to arrive, guided by Vin and the trail of the [[Mistfallen]] soldiers he had sent to Luthadel.

Not to be deterred, Ruin sendssent his army of several hundred thousand [[koloss]] to assault the Pits, only for Elend to realize that his Mistfallen battalion arewere all Seers, [[misting]]s capable of burning atium. With a constant supply of atium dredged out by Sazed and other survivors, they fightfought spectacularly against seemingly endless waves of koloss. But in the end, their metal reserves begin to dwindle, and they startstarted to fall, one-by-one. Marsh then arrivesarrived from Luthadel, dueling with an exhausted and drained Elend, who sooneventually fightsfought only via an infusion of Vin's power. Ruin, thoughthrough Marsh, tauntstaunted Elend, gloating over his impending victory, whenbut Elend revealsrevealed their true purpose has been fulfilled: Burning away all of the atium that was stored within the Trustwarren. Marsh beheadsbeheaded Elend in a final outburst of anger and hackshacked apart his body. [[Demoux]], one of the few surviving Mistfallen, retreatsretreated to the entrance of the caves, watching with Sazed.

Both she and Ati died from the clashing of their power. As the powers falterfaltered, the koloss arewere left without direction and turnturned on one another, effectively ending the battle.
