After the Lord Ruler's death, Sazed left [[Luthadel]] to fulfill his duty as a Keeper and spread the knowledge of the time before the Lord Ruler to the people of the Final Empire. Sazed carried the complete knowledge of the Terris people, but his specialty was religion, especially those from before the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb2|4}} He went south, the direction where Kelsier thought the eleventh metal stories came from, he was frustrated not have information on it.{{book ref|mb2|8}}

He saw the land was full of chaos, death, hatred, and disorder now that the Lord Ruler’s no longer patrolled those places. Sazed was disappointed to understand that the people were hoping for him to come back and didn’t understand or care enough to learn a new religion, thus he decided to teach them more practical things. After the year passed and the dispassion of the people and the rejection from his kind continued, Sazed’ started to question the results of the rebellion.{{book ref|mb2|7}} He also came across mysterious deaths somehow related to the [[mist]]s.{{book ref|mb2|4}}
When he was sure that Luthadel would fall to the enemy armies and koloss, he pulled together the old crew except for Elend, Vin, and Spook, there they decided that the latter would be tricked into leaving the city before battle along with Tindwyl and Allrianne.{{book ref|mb2|46}}
 
{{image|Sazed vs. Koloss by Lara Sarmiento.jpg|side=left|width=300px|Sazed defends the city from the koloss}}Just before the [[Battle of Luthadel]] and under [[Dockson]]’s command, he moved to defend the Steel Gate, which was the farthest the koloss were likely to reach and should send messengers to Keep Venture in case of attack. Tindwyl decided to stay and declared her love to Sazed just before a battle.{{book ref|mb2|50}} However, as battle drew closer, his confidence flew from him, he asked to be removed from the command chain. He spotted skaa going into the city and went to them, asking to hide again. They were calling him Holy First Witness and looked up to him. Uncomfortable he kept asking them to hide but pulled in some courage and used his Feruchemy to fight a koloss, giving the order to fight. They did.{{book ref|mb2|52}} His gate was the last one to fall. He fought with his men bravely, though very few survived.{{book ref|mb2|52}} His gate fell around the time Vin came back so he moved back to the northern gate hoping koloss would have left by then. He found Breeze and moved the people to carry the wounded.{{book ref|mb2|53}} He later went to see Vin recover the city and beat Straff’s army, she asked him to secure the city and get supplies, then left. At that moment, he decided she was the Hero of Ages.{{book ref|mb2|55}}
Tindwyl died in battle, leaving Sazed to mourn her and leading him to doubt his religions. He stopped believing and entered a time of despair. In his mourning he decided to continue looking into the contradictions of the information on the well and its power, until he was attacked by Marsh.{{book ref|mb2|57}} Marsh was about to kill Sazed, but a mistake gave him his metalminds, which gave him the power to battle him until rescued by Ham.{{book ref|mb2|58}}
