Wax returns home and sees signs of uninvited guests, so he Pushes himself upstairs, [[Vindication]] at the ready. It's the Kandra again, who has been invited there by Wayne. He introduces himself as [[VenDell]] of the Sixth generation. Marasi and [[MeLaan]] are also present. VenDell has asked Marasi for assistance since Wax refused. He is sets up some sort of device that turns out to be a slide projector they call an evanoscope. He says that Harmony wants to allow mankind to struggle in order to "survive what is coming." Marasi suspects this [[Trell]] is involved, but VenDell has no further information on that or Lessie's strange spikes. A chart of the [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] powers is displayed on the wall, and they discuss the lesser-known spiritual properties. Research is underway, but difficult, since there are few Ferrings with those abilities. VenDell explains that everyone has a spiritual aspect or Identity, and that Investiture is the power of [[Allomancy]] and Feruchemy. So one possibility would be to store (divest) Identity, making them a "blank slate," and therefore be able to use someone else's [[metalmind]]. Another possibility is to store Identity and fill another metalmind with some other attribute, creating a metalmind that anyone could use since it isn't keyed to any one Identity. Other possibilities exist, used in combination with [[Hemalurgy]], to give someone extraordinary powers, maybe even the [[Rashek|Lord Ruler's]]. They discuss the [[Bands of Mourning (object)|Bands of Mourning]], the Lord Ruler's metalminds -- objects of mythology that could supposedly grant someone his powers. Another Kandra, [[ReLuur]], took some photographs of murals depicting the bracers on a pedestal, a statue that resembles the Lord Ruler, and other items bearing script of an unknown language. ReLuur returned from his expedition with a spike missing, so it's unclear what he saw and what happened because missing a spike makes a Kandra somewhat insane. The quest is to find the missing spike to save ReLuur and maybe find the Bands of Mourning while they're at it. Wax initially refuses to go with Marasi until he sees another picture of [[Telsin|his sister]] being held prisoner. In broad daylight. With her head that just happens to be facing the camera.

Wax rides toward the party given by [[Kelesina Shores]]. Steris tries to calm his nerves. Wax doesn't want to wait in the long carriage line, so they get out and walk. Steris has prepared a list of conversation starters and people to use them on so they can get information about the [[Bands of Mourning (object)|Bands of Mourning]]. Wax grudgingly looks through the book and is impressed by Steris's thorough preparation. He wonders how she had time to do so. They come across a [[Hoid|beggar]] and Wax gives him a bank note. The beggar tosses back a coin as "change." They enter and Wax has to check his weapons.

They pass over Edwarn's expedition, and Telsin really wants to shoot him. Wax decides that it would be better to interrogate and prosecute him rather than just kill him out of revenge. Wayne somehow gets tangled with Telsin and he accidentally kicks a pack overboard, hitting one of the men below. Wax tells Allik to head in the direction they're hiking. Wax spots something on the ground and Allik lands the craft. They stumble out into the snow and see a one-story, black castle. Wax pushes the boat back into the snow until it's buried. Wayne tries to talk to Allik, hinting that he should call him by exalted names as well since he is metalborn, but Allik isn't wearing the translator anymore. Wayne then finds a large ship nearby with a bunch of corpses -- the expedition from Allik's people, come to destroy the temple. They continue up to the temple entrance where there is a statue of a man with one eyed spiked, like the image on Wax's strange coin. Wax wonders why the Lord Ruler would make a statue of himself with one spiked eye. As the others move on, Wayne hangs back and removes the metal spearhead from the statue, thinking it's a big chunk of valuable aluminum. Inside the temple, they confirm that this is where ReLuur had been. Allik lights the hallway by using the cube, and they all notice a pile of bodies and pools of blood ahead. Wax notices that Wayne has lifted the spearhead. They approach the bodies, and they have Hunter masks on. Wax theorizes that some of the Hunters wanted to recover the bandsBands, murdered those who didn't want to, and gave up and went home after some were killed by the traps. Wax, MeLaan, and Allik proceed down the hall, MeLaan triggering and enduring the various traps. Telsin insists on going in as well.
