'''Point of View: Vin, Elend
Vin silently wonders if she is the true Hero of Ages, and expresses frustration over the vagueness of the Terris prophecies to OreSeur.
OreSeur inadvertently reveals that the kandra have a religion, surprising Vin who believes that the Lord Ruler destroyed all independent religions during his reign. OreSeur speaks of kandra prophecies that state that humans will kill themselves off since they are of [[Ruin]], while kandra are of [[Preservation]]. OreSeur also speaks of a bond between the kandra and the koloss.
Elend investigates a case of mass illness which reveals that one of the city wells that provides drinking water is poisoned, and Elend has Hammond provide soldiers to assist the ill.
Vin and OreSeur go to the palace library to investigate the possibility that Dockson has been replaced by an impostor kandra. She asks Dockson to recall and comment on a random conversation that they had almost two years ago to test his memory and personality for changes. Dockson says that his opinion of the nobility has changed to a more moderate position, and Vin feels confident that his answer proves he isn't the impostor, and that she sees how guilt has changed his formerly more care-free personality.
Vin tells OreSeur that she thinks Dockson is genuine, but OreSeur counters that a kandra could be capable of this degree of impersonation since they are experts at it.
Vin sees a suspicious figure in the palace courtyard, who turns out to be Captain Demoux, and follows him briefly, thinking that she has found the impostor, but deciding to plan before making any accusations.
