| 1 | * Sazed grieving [[spoiler: Tindwyl]]'s death in ''The Well of Ascension'', realizing that for all his knowledge it provides him no comfort in the loss, his only solace to look over [[spoiler:their research notes]] and reminisce on the time they had together. This, along with the events that follow, completely shatter his faith in religion. |
| 2 | * [[spoiler: Preservation]]'s death. [[spoiler: Sazed]]'s annotations say that if Elend had stuck around for a few minutes after the final appearance of the mist spirit, he would have seen [[spoiler: the corpse of the man that Preservation once was form out of the mists before being buried in ash.]] |
| 3 | ** Made even more heartwrenching as his final action is desperately trying to get any scrap of information he possibly can to Elend, even as Ruin sabotages almost all his attempts. |
| 4 | * Also heartwarming, but in the epilogue of ''Hero of Ages'', Spook discovering the bodies of [[spoiler:Vin and Elend]], their hands clasped together. Bonus points to Sazed, who [[spoiler:tried to bring them back, but found that he did not yet know how]]. |
| 5 | ** [[spoiler: That's not the saddest part. The saddest part is that Secret History reveals that Sazed could have brought them back if Elend had waited just a bit longer to go Beyond. He can't bring people back from beyond, but he can bring people who haven't gone yet. As a Lerasium-derived allomancer, Elend could wait for about ten minutes, and as a fullblown Shardholder Vin could stick around for as long as she wanted. If Elend had waited a bit longer, they could have had their happily ever after on Scadrial.]] |
| 6 | * During Book Four of ''Well of Ascension'', the older members of the thieving crew have decided that [[spoiler:the siege of Luthadel]] is doomed to fail as [[spoiler:Lord Cett's]] army retreats and [[spoiler:the Koloss]] approach, and make a plan to [[LastStand preserve the lives of the younger members of the crew]] by distracting [[spoiler:Lord Straff]] for long enough. It's a very bittersweet moment as Kelsier's handpicked resign themselves to death, and yet stand by their honor to the last. |
