He moved all of the survivors, who had moved underground for protection, to the new location of Elendel Basin, and left behind the [[Words of Founding]], books chronicling the events
At Sliver Kelsier's behest, he endowed [[Spook]] with the abilities of a moderately powerful [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]. Unable to restore to life those that had passed on, he left the restored bodies of Vin and Elend for the survivors to honor. He also left Spook a cryptic message suggesting that there were two
