After the [[Final Ascension]] Kelsier is with Harmony having not "gone towards the light" and is still hanging around causing trouble.{{qa ref|428|10|Is Sazed with Tindwyl? - Barnes&Noble Bookclub Q&A|date=2009-07}}
 
=== Continued Worship after Death ===
In the second generation of the series, the cult which started after Kelsier's deception with [[OreSeur]] directly following his death has become a fully-formed religion. The [[Church of the Survivor]], or Survivorism, is possibly the most organized of [[Scadrial]]'s religions in this period, as well as being the clear favorite among the social elite and downtrodden alike. [[Steris]] and [[Marasi]] are both members of this religion, though Marasi at least admits that it is more because she was raised in it. Its central tenant is simply to survive, by any means, until you cannot survive any longer. Priests in this religion wear robes with stitching up the arms to emulate Kelsier's scars from the [[Pits of Hathsin]].
 
=== The Bands of Mourning ===
In [i]The Bands of Mourning[/i], a character with features matching Kelsier's makes his first tangible appearance in the second generation. During a scene in which [[Wax]] taps a [[coppermind]] deftly hidden in the coin he was given by a seeming beggar in [[New Seran]], he sees a vision through the eyes of a man who sees half as normal men do, and half in the steel-sighted vision of an [[Steel Inquisitor]]. Finding a small village of the southerners, ancestors of the like of [[Allik Neverfar]], the man approaches the freezing people, reaches out with a scarred arm, and commands them to "Survive," Kelsier's own commandment. This would imply that Kelsier was the "Sovereign" Allik had referred to, the one whose statue had held the spear on which the [[Bands of Mourning]] were discovered by [[Wayne]].
