Political Intrigue and the Burden of Heroism

In this episode, Vin attends her second ball and Kelsier has a night on the town. It's kind of like when other people have a night on the town, only with more corpses. Meanwhile, we talk about how open the Lord Ruler is to societal critiques, also possums, and finally Elend. Oh, this guy. Is Elend Venture a devious spy for the Lord Ruler or a hapless fool? Were his books evidence of a clever ruse or reckless overconfidence? Everyone has their own theory about it on this week's episode of The Sanderlanche!
