The '''mistfallen''' were a group of Seers, or [[atium]] [[misting]]s during the last stages of the [[New Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].
As [[Ruin]] gained control and attempted to destroy all life on Scadrial, [[Preservation]]'s plan to thwart him was triggered.{{msh ref|1|2}} The [[Mist]]s, which are manifestation of his power, lashed out at seemingly random individuals, raising people's Allomantic potential and snapping them with the side effect falling ill for a short time,. Due to Ruin's intervention, the mists became more violent, killing the weaker ones in the process. [[Noorden]], [[Elend]]'s scribe, discovers that exactly 16 percent of any group of people that fall to the mists become sick, whether they be villagers, soldiers, etc.{{book ref|mb3|21}} Sixteen matched the known number of allomantic metals{{
Some of the soldiers "attacked" by the mists in Elend's army were sick for 16 days{{book ref|mb3|40}}{{book ref|mb3|81}} rather than a few days. They were also exactly 1/16th of those who were struck. Others in the army consider them to be cursed because they took longer to recover. Multiple fights break out between them and the mistfallen, a name they presumably took upon themselves. Even General [[Demoux]] is attacked by a soldier, [[Bilg]], causing the soldier's execution. Elend finally decides to separate them from the main army, sending them away on the pretext of helping out the apparently dire situation in [[Luthadel]].{{book ref|mb3|47}}
