| − | The '''Kandra Contract''' detailed the terms of service for the employment of a [[kandra]] in the [[Final Empire]]. Each service Contract uses the [[First Contract]] between the kandra people and the Lord Ruler as a base.{{book ref|hoa|11}} Contracts could be purchased with [[atium]] by leaving a message at a designated place in Luthadel. A kandra would then go to the client and act as an intermediary while the papers were signed and payment collected. The kandra--a member of the fifth generation during the Mistborn trilogy--would then return to the [[kandra Homeland]] where a kandra would be assigned to the Contract.{{annotation ref|hoa|chapter=59}} The punishment for a kandra who broke the Contract was death.{{book ref|hoa|2}} The details of service Contracts were also entirely undisclosed to non-kandra, not even the Lord Ruler would have been informed. Although in all likelihood he could have demanded the information if he desired it.{{annotation ref|hoa|chapter=59}} |
