The Coup of Urteau is a major event in the history of Scadrial, occurring after the Battle of Luthadel.
Importance of Urteau
Urteau contained one of the Lord Ruler's storage caverns, with food, water, supplies, and knowledge about electrum.
Seizing Power
After the fall of the Final Empire, Quellion seized power in Urteau. He claimed that anyone faithful to the Survivor would be safe in the mists. A law was made which required everyone to go into the [mist]s. He declared that those who survived were pure. Then, they began to kill nobles and those who had noble blood.[1]

Editing Notes
Will be reading through book, taking notes. Urteau is mentioned by name in Chs 5, 12, 14, 16, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 38, 41, 46, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 62, 63, 64, 69, 70, Epilogue. 5: cache talk. 12: capture caches, take Urteau not by force. Should Beldre be a participant? Include map of Urteau? Aftermath? Demoux message? Generally only link to each different article once?
I should have checked the spreadsheet and with Ark1002.
I started working on an article that had the
{{attention}}tag on it. However, I just looked at the spreadsheet and @Ark1002#6883 has claimed it. (Coup of Urteau). I sent a Shard PM. Any advice? Feel free to reply on here if you see this, although this is mostly a draft.
- See if they come back to you over the Shard, but if they don't, I think it would be fine for you to work on it - I don't think Ark was able to get around to working on the page (though they might have notes on Google Drive/Word/Elsewhere that they might want to pass on?) and they haven't been active here in a year.

Article Draft (original)
Actual Article Draft (edited from previous)
The Coup of Urteau was one of the major events on Scadrial between the fall of the Final Empire and Sazed's ascension.
After the fall of the Lord Ruler, Quellion, also known as the Citizen, seized power in Urteau by invoking Kelsier's authority as Lord of the Mists.[2]
My summary: Quellion seizes power. Vin sneaks in. Spook is sent. Sazed, Breeze sent. Executions, Spook spike. Final execution, rebellion. Spook removes spike, frees canals (Sazed's engineering), fires put out. Their plan. I will check the order, other notable events when I have access to the whole book.
Quellion was ruling in Urteau after Straff Venture left to besiege Luthadel. Elend sent Spook to the city to gauge its political climate. Spook, Sazed and Breeze try to reason with Quellion, but decide to take him down instead RESULTS OF REASONING?. They attempt to incite a revolution, but discover that they have been playing into the hands of Ruin, who has been subtly influencing both Spook and Quellion via Hemalurgic spikes. Spook manages to remove the spikes. A fire breaks out, threatening to destroy the town, but Spook floods the Canals, saving the city.[3]
Importance of Urteau
Urteau was the capital city of the Northern Dominance in the Final Empire.[Falta cita] It was situated along the canals, allowing it to control shipments of merchandise.[Falta cita] It was known for its "streetslots," dried up canals that served as streets.[2]
He'd lost Urteau—the best and most profitable city under his rule—to the rebels.[4]
Urteau was also the location of one of the Lord Ruler's storage caverns.[5] It contained not food, resources, water, equipment, and information about electrum and the upcoming danger that Ruin represented.[Falta cita]MAYBE THIS[5] PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION The Lord Ruler redirected the canals' water to the city's storage cavern. This caused the canals to dry out but ensured a fresh water supply for the cavern.[Falta cita]
