House Tekiel
One of the older noble houses of Elendel, surviving from the old world into the modern Basin as a major commercial concern. Driven to collapse by the Vanisher robberies and an accumulated wave of insurance claims engineered by the Set; its shareholders sell out for pennies and Edwarn Ladrian's people purchase the debt to dismantle the house outright. MB2:AoL:Epilogue
One of the Luthadel Great Houses Kelsier is working to destabilise. He has them nervous enough that they keep five Tineyes on watch over their keep at night. MB1:TFE:Ch 19 superseded at MB2:AoL:Epilogue
Known facts
- bleeding-out-of-luthadelBy the time Vin reports back from the Hasting ball, Tekiel has lost most of its allies and is expected to sell off its keep within the month — it can no longer afford the Lord Ruler's keep tax. Most of its nobles, including its Mistings and Mistborn, will be forced out of Luthadel to plantations to recoup losses. Kelsier's destabilisation project against the house has effectively succeeded.MB1:TFE:Ch 24
- collapse-by-insurance-fraudDriven to collapse by the Set's long insurance-fraud play. The bad publicity from the Vanisher robbery on top of other large outstanding claims has destroyed the house's financial integrity; shareholders sell out for pennies, and Edwarn Ladrian's people have purchased the debt to take the house apart.MB2:AoL:Epilogue
