|[[Sazed]]'s description of the Truths of the Bennet to [[Kelsier]]{{book ref|mb1|29}}
}}
The '''Truths of the Bennet''' was the religion of the Bennet people, who lived on [[Scadrial]] during the [[Classical Scadrial|classical era]]. It is one of the religions recorded in [[Sazed]]'s [[copper#Feruchemical Use|copperminds]]{{book ref|mb1|29}}
 
The Bennet were a highhighly developed people that lived on islands in the south, possibly among the ones with volcanoes that [[Braches]] told [[Alendi]] about. They were accomplished seafarers and cartographers; some of their maps, presumably ones created after the [[Ascension of the Lord Ruler]] but before their culture was suppressed, were still being used by the [[Final Empire]] at the time of the [[Collapse]].{{book ref|mb1|29}}
 
The Truths of the Bennet considered mapmaking to be a sacred duty, and taught that, humans would find peace once the entire world was charted and understood, humans would find peace. It was designed to be practiced while at sea; a ship's captain also served as its minister and theological training was a prerequisite for commanding a ship. [[Sazed]] believes that few other people from the classical era adhered to ideals of peace and discovery in their religion as well as the Bennet did.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
 
While they are planning to overthrow the Final Empire, Sazed suggests the Truths of the Bennet to [[Kelsier]] as a possible religion. Kelsier rejects it, saying he's not interested in "peace and harmony" right now, and asks about the [[Valla]] instead.{{book ref|mb1|29}} During [[Final Ascension|his Ascension]], Sazed uses their maps of the world from before the Lord Ruler's Ascension, which were recorded in his metalminds, to undo the changes [[Rashek]] made to the landscape while he held the power of the [[Well of Ascension]].{{book ref|mb3|82}}
