The Church of the Survivor is the dominant religion of post-Catacendre Scadrial, founded on the worship of Kelsier - the man who defied the Lord Ruler and died to inspire the skaa rebellion. Kelsier's sacrifice and the subsequent fall of the Final Empire elevated him to the status of a messianic figure, and the religion that grew around his legend became one of the defining institutions of the new world. The Church venerates Kelsier as the Survivor of Hathsin and teaches that his example proves even the powerless can overcome tyranny. By the era of Wax and Wayne, the Church is a powerful cultural force in Elendel, though its relationship with Harmony - the god who actually remade the world - is complicated.
