;Plot Summary
Sazed and Tindwyl study a fragment of a biography of King [[Wednegon]], who battled the Lord Ruler early in his reign. The king blamed the Deepness for causing his army to run out of food. Sazed tells Tindwyl that he thinks the Deepness is a change in the mists. Tindwyl debates Sazed's theories about the dangers of the mists and berates him for not standing up for himself with the Synod. Tindwyl states that she is leaving to give advice to Elend's armies but also expresses her desire for Sazed and he asks her not to go, and she stays.
 
Elend and Hammond patrol the city wall and discuss Elend's desire to remain king so that he can protect the people of Luthadel. Elend has an insight on how he can get enough votes to not be deposed by the Assembly.

;Plot Summary
 
Vin and Elend attend the Assembly Hall for the election for king. Elend reveals that he has a surprise, but doesn't tell Vin what it is, though she intuits correctly that Elend has joined the Church of the Survivor to try to sway the skaa representatives to vote for him and cause a deadlock which would leave him in power. Vin notices some people acting suspiciously.
