▲The '''Church of the Survivor''' (later '''Survivorism''')
The religion
It eventually evolved into the modern Scadrian religion of '''Survivorism'''. Survivorism also calls Kelsier The Lord of the Mists, teaching that Kelsier will appear on misty nights and bless the independent. Followers of Survivorism are considered anyone who survives on their own, or thinks for themselves. Additionally, a Survivorist's scars are seen as a mark of devotion.{{book ref|aol|17}}
Additional figures in the religion include [[Vin]], who was originally known as The Heir of the Survivor and is now known as The Ascendant Warrior, and Sazed (Harmony), named "Holy First Witness" by early members of the church.{{book ref|mb2|52}} Another figure, The Lord Mistborn, is Spook, who was made a Mistborn by Sazed (Harmony) after the world was reborn and asked to look after humanity.
After Sazed ascended to become Harmony, he left a book detailing the events leading up to the rebirth of the world including the Hero of Ages prophecy. He also left books that contained all of the knowledge contained in his [[Coppermind]]s. These become known as The [[Words of Founding]]. The [[Pathism|Pathians]] and Survivorists both use these books. Despite this, the Survivorists dislike those who follow the Path,{{book ref|sos|12}} but the feeling isn't reciprocated.
