=== Contracting Kelsier's Crew ===

Yeden contracted [[Kelsier's crew]] to provide an army to capture [[Luthadel]], overthrow The Final Empire, and capture [[Rashek|The Lord Ruler]]. Yeden would pay thirty thousand boxings, half before and half after the job was done. However, it was [[Kelsier]]'s idea, and Yeden was a bit skeptical at first.{{book ref|mb1|4}} He thought that the crew could never get the skaa to rise up and that it would be hard to recruit a large army from the population of Luthadel.{{book ref|mb1|6}}

 

Yeden began to get excited, and was impressed with Kelsier's work for the rebellion.{{book ref|mb1|17}} He went on rallies to recruit people for the rebel army.{{book ref|mb1|10}} He wanted to see the army at the Arguois Caverns,{{book ref|mb1|17}} and Kelsier took him to watch over it so that [[Hammond]] could return to Luthadel for a while.{{book ref|mb1|21}} After Kelsier's display with [[Demoux]], Yeden started to believe that Kelsier was able to grant his powers to others, and that their army could not possibly lose.{{book ref|mb1|21}}

 

[[Breeze]] was going to be sent to replace Yeden for a few months, but Yeden had already taken control of the army to gain some experience.{{book ref|mb1|24}} {{book ref|mb1|25}} Yeden, confident that the rebellion was blessed by Kelsier, instructed them to attack the nearby [[Holstep]] Garrison in the [[Central Dominance]], which the Skaa rebellion defeated in a night raid. However, on the rebellion's way back to the Caverns, about an hour away from Holstep, they were attacked by the [[Valtroux]] Garrison of about 5000 soldiers. Yeden and 5000 members of the Rebellion's skaa army died there, and Yeden's head was found on a spear beside the road.{{book ref|mb1|25}}
