'''Astalsi''' is an ancient religion from [[Scadrial]]. They don't survive the [[Lord Ruler]]'s reign, but [[Sazed]] keeps knowledge about them in his [[Feruchemy|metalminds]].{{book ref|mb1|9}}
 
The Astalsi followers are rather advanced, and mix religion with science. They develop a detailed scale to express different colors, and think that these different colors are indications of different kinds of fortune.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
 
They believe that each person was born with a certain finite amount of bad luck, and for them a poor life was a sign of fortune yet to come. For this reason Sazed preaches the Astalsi religion to [[Vin]], given that Vin already had been through a lot during her life.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
