{{epigraph|I have a young nephew, one Rashek. He hates all of Khlennium with the passion of an envious youth. He hates Alendi even more acutely—though the two have never met—for Rashek feels betrayed that one of our oppressors should have been chosen as the Hero of Ages.}}
'''Point of View: Straff, Sazed, Breeze, Dockson, Allrianne
Straff and his army are just outside Luthadel, and Straff tells General Janarle that they will let the koloss fight for a few hours and tire themselves out before they invade the city to drive the koloss out.
Sazed fights at the Steel Gate, and manages to clear the koloss out of the area sufficiently to reclose the gate and use his ironmind to gain weight to keep the gate closed. This only gives a temporary reprieve as Sazed's ironmind runs out and the koloss break through again, and Sazed learns that Tin Gate, where Tindwyl was in charge, has fallen.
Koloss break through Zinc Gate and Clubs orders Breeze and the soldiers there to retreat into the city. Breeze watches as a koloss cuts down Clubs, and he flees to hide in a nearby building.
The koloss invade Keep Venture and slay Dockson as he tries to retreat.
Straff ignores Janarle's entreaties to attack the city, hoping the koloss damage it greatly so that he can remake it in his own design.
Allrianne implores her father to send his army to fight off the koloss, but he refuses, saying that he will submit to Straff instead, and that all the good men died in Luthadel.
Sazed manages to fight for hours against the mighty but unskilled koloss until his pewtermind runs out and prepares to be killed, but is spared as Vin arrives. The skaa start chanting as Vin uses allomancy on the gate to smash all the nearby koloss. Sazed convinces the skaa to flee the area.
Breeze despairs over his cowardice as Hammond and Sazed locate him and decide to lead the remnants of their army to Keep Hasting to find refuge.
