▲'''Characters:''' [[Vin]], [[Spook]], [[Dockson]], [[Kelsier]], [[Renoux]], [[Sazed]]

▲'''Summary:''' Vin awakes after two weeks of resting, and Spook tells her how Kelsier had given him his new nickname in the interim. While talking with Dox, Vin realizes that there’s [[feruchemy|something very unusual]] about Sazed. After a few more days of rest, Vin returns to [[Fellise]]. She speaks with Sazed, who is wearing glasses as he works on the [[Mistborn:_The_Final_Empire/Epigraphs|translation]] - he is filling a [[tinmind]] with physical sight, impairing his vision. They briefly talk about what [[Keeper]]s are, and Sazed tells Vin that all [[Terrisman]] stewards are eunuchs.

▲'''Other Notes:''' Sazed admits to knowing 172 languages, most of which are no longer spoken after “[t]he [[Lord Ruler]]’s unity movement of the fifth century....”

▲==Chapter 18==

▲'''Characters:''' [[Vin]], [[Sazed]], [[Elend]], Stase Blanches (Elend’s date for that evening), Melend Liese (a young noble, asked Vin to dance), [[Shan Elariel]], [[Jastes Lekal]], a Hasting noble

▲'''Summary:''' Vin attends the party at Keep Elariel. Vin sits at her table, and Elend sits down next to her, uninvited, before her meal arrives, dropping a large stack of books on the table. Vin accepts dancing invitations from some young nobles. After much dancing, Vin is “required” to meet with Shan Elariel. During the conversation, Vin realizes that Shan could [[Brass|Soothe]]. Vin notices Shan’s [[Terrisman]] poking through Elend’s books - left unattended at Vin’s table - so Vin excuses herself and returns to her table. She scans through a small book that is practically treasonous in its content. Elend returns, gathers up the books, and leaves, being met on the way by two friends. Sazed, still wearing his glasses, identifies them as Jastes Lekal and a Hasting (but doesn’t know the Hasting’s given name). This surprises Sazed, as [[House Lekal|Lekal]] and [[House Hasting|Hasting]] are political rivals of [[House Venture|Venture]]. As she leaves the party, Vin sees a soldier casually slit the throat of a [[skaa]] kitchen-boy who begged for coin from a [[noble]].

▲'''Other Notes:''' “Valette’s” trip to [[Luthadel]] took almost two months by canal, with some stops; Elend remarks that it can take half a year to go from one end of the [[Final Empire]] to the other. [[Feruchemy]] explicitly mentioned in one of Elend’s books. Also mentioned in the book are [[metalmind]]s, “the Massacre at Devanex, the revision of the [[Deepness]] Doctrine, and the relocation of the Renates peoples.”

▲==Chapter 19==

▲'''Characters:''' [[Kelsier]], Charrs Entrone (his corpse, at least), [[Hoid]], [[Straff Venture]], [[Vin]], [[Sazed]], [[Renoux]]

▲'''Summary:''' Kelsier sows more chaos to build the House War by leaving the obviously-murdered body of one Charrs Entrone in the garden of [[House Tekiel]]. Afterward, he meets up with Hoid, masquerading as a street informant, in order to find out what rumors exist regarding House Renoux. He leaves Hoid to meet up with Lord Venture, pretending to be a sickly, lame [[skaa]] beggar and street informant. Kelsier returns to Mansion Renoux, trading information with Vin, Sazed, and Renoux.

▲==Chapter 20==

▲'''Characters:''' [[Vin]], [[Sazed]], [[Kelsier]], [[Renoux]], [[Marsh]]

▲'''Summary:''' Vin returns from [[Luthadel]] to see weapons being crated up in front of Renoux’s mansion, to be shipped out. Marsh arrives soon after, and he teaches her about [[Bronze|Seeking]], as well as some additional details about [[allomancy]] in general.

▲'''Characters:''' [[Kelsier]], [[Yeden]], [[Demoux]], [[Hammond]], Bilg (a skaa rebellion soldier)

▲'''Summary:''' Kelsier reads a translation of the [[Mistborn:_The_Final_Empire/Epigraphs|journal]] as he travels by canal boat. The caravan stops at a lock, and Kelsier, the recruits, and the supplies leave the caravan, heading to the caves where the [[skaa rebellion]] is training. Kelsier overcomes memories of the [[Pits of Hathsin]] and enters the cave complex, inspecting the army Ham was forming. During a dinner, Kelsier [[Zinc|Riots]] Bilg’s emotions, intending to use him as an example. Bilg and Demoux duel, with Kelsier using allomancy to help Demoux - the smaller of the two men - win the duel.
