A few months pass as Vin practices Allomancy and learns courtly manners, living mostly in Fellise at Lord Renoux’s mansion. She practices her Allomantic fighting style with Kelsier each night before he leaves to raid or steal from one of Luthadel’s Great Houses. Vin shows an uncanny ability to use Allomancy instinctually but struggles in her lessons on acting as a noblewoman. One of Renoux’s skaa servants cuts Vin’s hair into a more feminine style while Sazed teaches her of a religion that existed before the Lord Ruler’s Ascension. Sazed specialty is religion. He says, “If someone doesn’t remember them, then they will simply disappear” (179). The Keepers are particularly hated by the Lord Ruler, who has “hunted the sect virtually to extinction” (184).
Kelsier instructs Vin to continue her Allomancy training by learning from the Mistings in their crew. Vin will soon attend her first noble ball with Sazed as her escort.
In this chapter’s epigraph, the Hero of Ages writes that the Deepness, the mysterious threat to Scadrial that the Hero of Ages must defeat, is sinister enough to unite the many nations of Scadrial behind the single purpose of defeating it.
