“
Sazed: The Valla lasted longer into the Lord Ruler’s dominion than any other religion.
Kelsier: That’s why I ask. I…need to understand what kept them going for so long, Saze. What made them keep fighting?
Sazed: They were the most determined, I think.
Kelsier: But they didn’t have any leaders. The Lord Ruler had slaughtered the entire Vallan religious council as part of his first conquest.
Sazed: Oh, they had leaders, Master Kelsier. Dead ones, true, but leaders nonetheless.
Kelsier: Some men would say that their devotion didn’t make sense. The loss of the Vallan leaders should have broken the people, not made them more determined to keep going.
Sazed: Men are more resilient than that, I think. Our belief is often strongest when it should be weakest. That is the nature of hope.
