The "Survivor's Statemark" is one of the symbols of the faith. When [[Bleeder]] killed [[Father Bin]] by nailing him to a wall, it is described as a parody of the Survivor's Statemark,{{book ref|mb5|12}} implying that the Statemark depicts the way Kelsier died, impaled by a spear.
 
Aside from the Survivorists, there was also a whole civilization of people that worshiped Kelsier far to to the south of Elendel, calling him the '''Sovereign'''. Kelsier had traveled there several years after the Catacendre, inhabiting a physical body that was spiked in the leftright eye, and found the [[Southern Scadrian]]s slowly dying of an unexplained coldness. He helped the people there survive using his knowledge of the Metallic Arts, showing them how to make [[Feruchemy#Unsealed_Metalminds|unsealed metalminds]] to store attributes like heat in a way that could be shared with anyone. As the Sovereign, Kelsier ruled the Southern Scadrians for a time and formed another religion that deified [[Metalborn]], and then he left.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
 
Before leaving them, he created the [[Bands of Mourning]], a collection of unsealed metalminds forged together and containing all kinds of attributes in extremely large quantities. He hid the artifact away somewhere in the north and then disappeared.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
Later on, a group of Southern Scadrians traveled north in search of the Sovereign's Bands of Mourning, but were captured by the [[Set]], who decided to seek the Bands as well. Wax and his friends became embroiled in this incident in opposition to the Set, and Wax was almost killed in an encounter with them.{{book ref|mb6|27}} After [[Marasi]] solved the riddle of the Bands and wielded it to escape the Set, she gave it to Wax, who wielded it and became incredibly powerful.{{book ref|mb6|28}} Wax then used the artifact to defeat the Set and save the Southern Scadrian prisoners, using up a lot of the Investiture stored in the Bands.{{book ref|mb6|29}}
 
Soon afterwards, Wax accessed a [[coppermind]] contained in a coin-like Southern Scadrian medallion that Hoid had given him and saw a vision of what appeared to be Kelsier's memory of discovering the Southern Scadrians hundreds of years prior. The vision, seen from Kelsier's point of view, showed that his spiked leftright eye viewed the world through Allomantic lines, similar to [[Steel Inquisitors]], while his rightleft eye saw things normally.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}
