Vin enters [[Kredik Shaw]], convincing the four guards to abandon their post and join the rebels. Upon reaching the building-within-a-building, she was blocked by two Inquisitors. Using cleverness and trickery, Vin manages to incapacitate one of the Inquisitors - Kar - and blind the other, stabbing him in the thigh with a thrown glass dagger while he is blinded with a cloud of pewter dust. Entering her target building, she sees it decorated inside with rugs, skins, and furs, and a lit hearth at the center. She also eventually sees an old, bald man, apparently in his seventies, sitting by the fire. As she tries to escape, the formerly blinded Inquisitor captures her, and asks the Lord Ruler to let her live - so he can use her against the [[Canton of Orthodoxy]]. While she has the chance, Vin burns the [[Eleventh Metal]], but is confused by what she sees. The Inquisitor then knocks her unconscious. Elend meets up with his father, who informs the younger Venture that they are leaving [[Luthadel]] due to the skaa rebellion. Elend tells his father that he’s staying. Straff agrees, hoping that Elend will be killed, and after Straff leaves, Elend orders his soldiers to [[Keep Lekal]], to join forces with them in mutual defense against the skaa. Elend then takes his five best soldiers as an honor guard and goes to turn himself in to the skaa leadership. When Vin awakes, she is forced to swallow and burn [[aluminum]] by an Inquisitor. While trapped in her cell, Vin notices the similarity between the Eleventh Metal and [[gold]]. Kar then comes with another Inquisitor (Marsh) to take her from her cell to the Lord Ruler’s throne room, which is surrounded by one giant, circular stained glass window depicting the [[mists]]. Tevidian argues that they need to pay attention to the rebellion, but the Lord Ruler dismisses it as inconsequential. Kar then argues for the control of the [[Steel Ministry]] to be taken away from the Canton of Orthodoxy - the Obligators - and turned over to the [[Canton of Inquisition]] - the Steel Inquisitors. Vin eventually admits that Tevidian is her father, and the Lord Ruler gives him over to the Inquisitors, who mercilessly murder him with their obsidian knives. Kar, Marsh, and the Inquisitor holding Vin do not take part in the murder.
