The '''Coup of Urteau''' was one of the major events on [[Scadrial]], in the city of [[Urteau]] between the end of the [[Final Empire]] and [[Sazed]]'s ascension.
[[Quellion]] rules in [[Urteau]] since [[Straff Venture]] left to [[Siege of Luthadel|besiege Luthadel]]. [[Spook]], [[Sazed]] and [[Breeze]] try to reason with Quellion, but decide to take him down instead. They attempt to incite a revolution, but discover that they have been playing into the hands of [[Ruin]], who has been subtly influencing both Spook and Quellion via [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic Spikes]]. A fire breaks out, threatening to destroy the town, but Spook removes the spikes and floods the Canals, saving the city.{{book ref|mb3|58}}
==Previous History==
Urteau is the historical home of the [[Venture]], and the capital city of the [[Northern Dominance]] of the Final empire.{{book ref|mb2|3}}{{map ref|Urteau}} It was the location of one of the Lord Ruler's [[storage cavern]]s.{{book ref|mb3|14}} The city used to have canals crossing the city, but the water disappeared, being pooled in an underground lake in the [[Lord Ruler]]s storage cavern. {{book ref|mb3|29}} Due to this, the cities streets are lower than the street, called streetslots, that some people live in and use ladders to get to the higher houses.{{book ref|mb3|14}}
==Lead up==
In the years after the [[Collapse]],[[Straff Venture]] retreated to Urteau, to regroup before he went to [[Siege of Luthadel|Besiege luthadel]]. While he is gone, [[Quellion]], an unstable [[Skaa]], spiked himself, making him a seeker.{{book ref|mb3|70}{{wob ref|7976}} He than saw [[Ruin]], as [[Kelsier]], who influenced him in his actions.{{book ref|mb3|58}} He went out in the mists, and claimed that anyone who was a true follower of Kelsier would be spared by the mist. He killed anyone was affected by the mistsickness. He also killed all of the nobles except his sister, even though they were not affected by the mists. He then took control of the city, and became the Citizen-the leader of Urteau. He set up his own government, and renounced [[Kelsier's crew]] as impostors.{{book ref|mb3|29}}
