'''Elendel''' is the largest city in the [[Elendel Basin|Basin]] on [[Scadrial]].{{map ref|Elendel}} Named by The Lord Mistborn, [[Spook]], for [[Elend Venture]], it is located at the mouth of the Irongate river where it flows into [[Hammondar Bay]]. Though no accurate estimate exists for population size, there are certainly millions of residenceresidents, and estimates top out at around five million.{{book ref|mb4|1}}
 
Elendel is also the central power in the Basin and is home to many noble houses.
There seems to be a port west of Seventh Octant, and a large rail terminal west of Sixth Octant.

== History ==
In the novels, Lord Waxillium Ladrian is granted a "city-wide deputized forbearance" in the Constabulary, though what specifically this means is a little confusing. In the broadsheets of Shadows of Self, it's said that the decision was that of the Fourth Octant constables, yet Constable-General Brettin said that he had to ask the Senate for it. Presumably, then, the decision is made by the Constabulary, but must be approved/ratified by the Senate, though whether this goes before the full Senate or is handled by a sub-committee is unknown at this time.
 
The forbearance gives him the right, apparently city-wide as the name implies, to act as a lawman, investigating crimes and making arrests with the authority of the Elendel Constabulary.
 
===== Metalborn =====
 
As first contact with a foreign nation was just established, it's unknown what the Basin's broader foreign policy is going to end up being. The very first meeting happened to include a Senator, but the first official meeting seemed only to involve the Governor in any official capacity. A rough trade agreement has been hammered out, partially in the hopes of defusing potential hostilities.
