== Political climate of Urteau ==
With the collapse of the [[Final Empire]], the people of Urteau followed the rebellion along with many cities. A skaa named Quellion takes the power of the city, and gives himself the title The Citizen.
== The Coup ==
Following an encounter with [[Quellion]], where the Citizen refused to join [[Elend Venture|Elend’s]] empire, [[Breeze]] and [[Sazed]] met with [[Spook]], who had been residing in [[Urteau]] and gathering information for several months. The crew took up residence in an abandoned ministry building, and Sazed, Breeze and Spook discovered an underground reservoir of fresh water among the supply cache underneath the building. They determine that this reservoir was responsible for drying the canals of the city.{{book ref|mb3|29}} The crew began planning how to deal with Quellion and his government.
After an earlier encounter with the Citizen and his guards, Spook believed Quellion was a [[coinshot]].{{book ref|mb3|16}} Since all citizens with noble heritage in Urteau were being put to death at the Citizen’s order, revealing Quellion’s [[allomancy]] would destroy his reputation. Spook believed if he could get Quellion to use his allomancy in the open, the people would turn on him. He had Sazed and Breeze begin spreading rumors of Quellion’s allomancy and noble heritage.{{book ref|mb3|46}} Spook had gained a reputation among the people of Urteau as the Survivor of the Flames, and the crew planned to use this reputation to bring Urteau into Venture’s empire. Sazed planned to flood the dried canals of Urteau to bolster the reputation of the Survivor of the Flames. While planning their coup of Quellion’s government, [[Beldre]], the Citizen’s sister, went to the ministry building to convince the crew to spare Quellion’s life. Spook decides to take her hostage, and he spreads a rumor that she defected from her brother.{{book ref|mb3|49}}
While Sazed was developing the mechanism to flood the canals, and while Spook was planning how to get Quellion to expose his allomancy, riots began around the city.{{book ref|mb3|56}} During a speech from the Citizen, denouncing Spook and his allies, Spook and [[Goradel|Goradel’s]] soldiers attacked the stage. Spook engages Quellion and nearly kills him when he’s stopped by a coin from Beldre. Spook realizes that she was the coinshot, not her brother. Spook realizes that he and Quellion were both being manipulated by an [[Ruin|apparition of Kelsier]]. Spook removes the hemalurgic spikes from himself and Quellion, and he realizes that the riots have gone out of control and the city was burning. Beldre reveals she killed the guards that were to release the water to flood the canals, which could’ve been used to stop the fires.{{book ref|mb3|58}}
Spook, Beldre and Sazed travel to the ministry building in order to release the water, but they find the building engulfed in flames. Spook enters the burning building, finds the lever to trigger the mechanism, and floods the canals.{{book ref|mb3|58}} The people of Urteau then use the water from the canals to stop the fires around the city, though around a third of the city was lost.{{book ref|mb3|59}}
Following the riots and the fire, Sazed appointed Breeze in charge of the city.{{book ref|mb3|59}} Following the confrontation with Spook and the removal of his hemalurgic spike, Quellion became more civil, and he was willing to consider an alliance with Elend.{{book ref|mb3|62}} After the departure of Sazed, the mists began to behave strangely, and Spook told Breeze to gather the people of Urteau into the storage cavern.{{book ref|mb3|73}} The people who gathered in the cavern were protected from the [[Catacendre|world being reborn]], and were gathered with the other survivors from around the [[Final Empire]].{{book ref|mb3|epilogue}}
