''The philosophers assure me that this is the time, that the signs have been met. But I still wonder if they have the wrong man. So many people depend on me. They say I will hold the future of the entire world on my arms.
''What would they think if they knew that their champion - the [[Hero of Ages]], their savior - doubted himself? Perhaps they wouldn’t be shocked at all. In a way, this is what worries me most. Maybe, in their hearts, they wonder - just as I do.
''When they see me, do they see a liar?''
''I guess it all comes down to one fact: In the end, I’m the one with the armies.''
'''Characters:''' [[Vin]], Ulef (a [[skaa]] in Camon’s crew), [[Camon]], [[Theron]] (a [[crewleader]]), Prelan Laird (a [[Canton of Finance]] obligator)
'''Summary:''' Vin introduced, summoned to Camon by Ulef. Camon pretends to be Lord Jedue, head of a house desperately looking for new contracts; this is a cover, an attempt to scam the [[Steel Ministry]] out of money. Vin [[Brass|Soothes]] the [[obligator]] so he won’t dismiss Camon’s pleas.
==Chapter 2==
'''Epigraph:''' ''If men read these words, let them know that power is a heavy burden. Seek not to be bound by its chains. The [[Terris]] [[Terris prophecies|prophecies]] say that I will have the power to save the world.
''They hint, however, that I will have the power to destroy it as well.''
'''Other Notes:''' None.
==Chapter 3==
'''Epigraph:''' ''We arrived in [[Terris]] earlier this week, and, I have to say, I find the countryside beautiful. The great mountains to the north - with their bald snowcaps and forested mantles - stand like watchful gods over this land of green fertility. My own [[Khlennium|lands]] to the south are mostly flat; I think that they might look less dreary if there were a few mountains to vary the terrain.
''The people here are mostly herdsmen - though timber harvesters and farmers are not uncommon. It is a pastoral land, certainly. It seems odd that a place so remarkably agrarian could have produced the [[Terris prophecies|prophecies]] and theologies upon which the entire world now relies.''
'''Characters:''' [[Camon]], [[Vin]], Ulef, [[Kelsier]], [[Dockson]], [[Millev]] (Camon’s Second)
'''Summary:''' Vin’s nervousness about the meeting with the [[obligator]] causes her to want to leave Camon’s lair. 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). Kelsier saves Vin, promotes Millev to [[Crewleader]], takes the three thousand boxings as payment for dealing with the obligator and [[Steel Inquisitor|Inquisitor]], and rents the den for the evening meeting. Millev’s crew leaves for a while so Kelsier can test Vin for being a [[Mistborn]].
'''Other Notes:''' Vin subconsciously burns [[pewter]] after Camon hits her with a thrown stool.
