mist born CH 35 - 38 ( the end)

CH 35 pg 577
Vin is sad that Kelsier is dead.  The crew is talking about how they will split up and go into hiding.  That is until they hear a group of skaa preaching the word of Kelsier.  They're rising up.  The roads are full of skaa preaching the word of kelsier and how they must rise up and take over the city.  They go to a storehouse and find a ton of weapons.  Lord reneoux is there.  He tells a creature in the back to come out.  Its a mistwraith that's taken kelsiers body so I guess kelsier can have a Jesus like rebirth story.  Renoux gives vin a bag with the.elwvwnth metal.  There's a note telling her kelsier never figured out how it worked.  Doesn't matter, she's gonna figure it out and kill the lord ruler.

CH 36 pg 589
Vin is goes to the palace and using powdered pewter as a distraction technique she holds her own in a fight against two inquisitors.  But then the Lord ruler shows up and that's the end of that.  He says to kill her.  The inquisitors say they still have use of her and they need to talk about the church.  Primarily that they should be in charge of it because the men in charge are corrupt.  Their prime evidence was that Vin is a church guys daughter.  She tells the Lord ruler that her brother told her he was her dad.  Church guy admits he might have let a bastard child live.  The Lord ruler tells the inquisitors they can do what they want now.  They kill church guy and say they're gonna kill Vin.

Ch 37 pg 606
Vin finds out from the inquisitors that her brother didn't abandon her.  He died keeping her secret.  Sazed I there.  He allowed himself to be captured so he could save Vin.  He uses his power to get out of the dungeon.  But then there's palace soldiers.  Looks like they are done for.  But no, Eland shows up to save her.  He's all prepared to die fighting th e palace guard so she can get away.  But she finds her stuff and downs a goal of metal and makes quick work of the.palace guard with her alomancy.

Ch 38 pg 619

Vin goes back to the palace to finish what she started with the lord ruler.  They're having an official church guy meeting where the lord ruler officially announces that the inquisitors are now in charge of the church.  Everyone except for the lord ruler and the head inquisitor leave and that's when Vin strikes.  Things arent going that great, but then another inquisitor comes along and kills the inquisitor Vin is fighting.  Lord ruler calls the other inquisitors but they're already dead.  The mystery inquisitor is Marsh.  I guess selling out his friends and family was part of the plan.  Now he's the only inquisitor.  Vin uses the 11th metal (which if its the push metal opposite gold is really the 10th metal and atrium is the 11th metal and maybe in the next book they'll discover the 12th metal) to see the lord ruler's past self and when she really looks at him, he's dressed like a Shepherd from the far north.  He's a terrisman.  She realizes this isn't the true hero.of.legend, this is Rashek,w ho declared the real hero wasn't the real hero, he must have killed the real hero and taken whatever the power was he needed to defeat the deepness.  So he's an alomancer and a feruchemist.  She rips out the rings that are in his forearms and without that feruchemical store of power, he goes down like a sack of potatoes.

Epilogue pg 633
This chapter is for people like me who need things explained to them.  The basic idea is sazed agrees with Vin's idea that Rashek was already a feruchemist and he got the power of alomancy and he gave it to those loyal to him.  He wasn't really immortal but by burning metal and saving his age into his bracelets he was able to deage himself and that's how he lived so long.  
During the fighting when the rebel army was slaughtering the palace guard Eland came along and gave a great speech.  So he's gonna be the new king.  He's a good man, he'll be a good king
