Difference between revisions of "Elend Venture"

Elend and Vin decide to take their armies and besiege Fadrex City in the hopes of gaining the contents of their atium stores{{book ref|mb3|5}}. They take many koloss soldiers whose control they had previously wretched from several Inquisitors. While in Fadrex, He and Vin attended balls thrown by the proposed king, [[Aradan Yomen]]{{book ref|mb3|30}}. Late in the siege, he and Vin lose control of their koloss, leading to the koloss wreaking havoc on their soldiers, before running off into the night{{book ref|mb3|73}}. After this happens, Yomen allows Elend into Fadrex and seems to seek his help due to the disappearance of the mists, but Elend leaves Fadrex shortly after these events transpire, taking with him some atium Yomen gives him {{book ref|mb3|74}}.

 

==== The [[Battle of Hathsin]] ====

Elend eventually realises the meaning of the pattern of the mist-sickness which snaps allomancers, and also discovers the Seers in his army were those who were sick the longest. He uses this knowledge to lead the Seers in battle against the [[koloss]] armies under Ruin's control, depleting all of the [[Atium]] stored in the [[kandra]] Trust. He fuels the last of his Atium with duralumin, seeing the ultimate outcome of his actions. With the knowledge gained from this, he allows Marsh to kill him, giving Vin the drive to attack Ruin directly{{book ref|mb3|81}}, resulting in both of their deaths and Sazed's [[Final Ascension]]{{book ref|mb3|82}}.
