;Summary
Vin reads from her copy of the [[Mistborn:_The_Final_Empire/Epigraphs|journal]] when Spook arrives. He tells her that Dockson came to get more weapons, and gives her a handkerchief to show that he would like to seriously court her. Dockson is in a meeting with Renoux, so Vin waits outside. While outside, Vin talks to Sazed about the Terrisman in the journal, and Sazed eventually tells her the secrets of Feruchemy. Sazed also explains how the Keepers were formed for the purpose of remembering everything after the Terris religion was lost. Sazed ends their talk by briefly discussing the history of some of the crew members.
Vin gets to talk to Dockson, and asks him about his former life as a plantation skaa. Dockson tell her his story, how a woman he loved was taken by Lord Devinshae and killed the next morning. Dockson tells Vin all noblemen are like that, but Vin finds that hard to believe after talking to the noblemen at the balls. Vin is left wondering if Elend has ever taken and murdered a skaa woman.

{{epigraph|I sleep but a few hours each night. We must press forward, traveling as much as we can each day-but when I finally lie down, I find sleep elusive. The same thoughts that trouble me during the day are only compounded by the stillness of the night. <br> <br> And, above it all, I hear the thumping sounds from above, the pulsings from the mountains. Drawing me closer with each beat.}}
