'''Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania''' is a short story about an adventuring Allomancer named [[Jak]], as told by him and edited by his [[Terrisman]] steward, [[Handerwym]]. Handerwym's annotations imply that the narrator is unreliable (prone to exaggeration and ignorance), but we do find out some of information about [[Kolosskoloss]] society post-[[Catacendre]].

The story starts with Jak waking up in a cave, out of metals. He then escapes the cave by jumping into the river in the canyon below after licking a tin deposit on the wall of the cave. He is promptly recaptured by the Kolosskoloss who want to make him their leader and a Kolosskoloss. He discovers that his girlfriend [[Elizandra Dramali]] is Koloss koloss-blooded. He does not want to become a Kolosskoloss, so he says that he already is one and will prove it by getting the Survivor's treasure from the bottom of a spear-shaped pool. He dives down, finds a chest, and brings it back up. It contains a number of Kolosskoloss [[Hemalurgy|spikes]]. The Kolosskoloss are so excited to have new spikes to increase their numbers, Jak and Elizandra manage to escape, and Jak realizes that the chest itself is made of precious [[aluminum]].
