She tells Ulef, whom she wants to bring along, but he tells Camon while she retrieves her personal effects (including the [[hemalurgy|hemalurgic]] earring her mother gave her).

As dawn slowly breaks, Vin [[steel|Pushes]] herself outside of [[Kredik Shaw]] to the Lord Ruler’s throne room, and the skaa rebellion closes on the palace. The Lord Ruler officially turns the [[Steel Ministry]] over to the [[Inquisitor]]s, with Kar at the head. Kar’s thoughts cover some of what it is like to be an Inquisitor as he reflects on his version of vision. During his reflection, Vin breaks through the southern portion of the stained glass window-wall and charges the Lord Ruler. Burning the [[Eleventh Metal]], Vin attacks the Lord Ruler’s [[malatium]]-ghost to no avail. Kar engages her at this point, and Vin kicks him off her as they tumble. The Lord Ruler calls for the other Inquisitors, and Kar manages to grapple Vin and hold her. The back door opens, but only Marsh enters - the other Inquisitors had their [[hemalurgy#bind_points|linchpin spikes]] removed by Marsh as they slept, killing them. Marsh, believed by Kar to be a loyal Inquisitor, walks up behind Kar and kills him by removing his linchpin spike. Marsh then charges the Lord Ruler, attempting to do the same to him. Marsh quickly discovers that the Lord Ruler does not have a hemalurgic spike in his back like Inquisitors. The Lord Ruler Pushes everyone away from him, affecting even the metals within Vin’s stomach. Tearing off the remnants of his shirt and jacket, Vin can clearly see the various rings the Lord Ruler wears, as well as the [[feruchemical]] [[atium]] bracelets piercing his upper arms. As he Pushes her around the room, the Lord Ruler Pushes Vin’s earring - a bronze hemalurgic spike - out of her earlobe. Vin This proves to be his downfall, as removing this hemalurgic influence allows Vinthen topulls channelupon the mists directly, [[iron|Pulling]] the Lord Ruler’s atium bracers off his arms, and forcing his rapid reversion to old age. Sazed then arrives and gives Vin some metals to ingest. A final, short conversation transpires between the Lord Ruler, Marsh, Sazed, and Vin, and then Vin kills the Lord Ruler with a simple wooden spear that Sazed brought with him.
