Tindwyl is a Keeper of Terris and a member of the Synod. She is well-known and respected among the Terris people. She spent much of her life in the Lord Ruler's breeding program, and had over twenty children, around fifteen of which were girls. A year after the Collapse, she traveled to Luthadel at Sazed's wish in order to train Elend Venture in leadership. She quickly became a member of Elend's inner circle. After this, she and Sazed studied the rubbing he made of Kwaan's inscription, and during that time they became romantically involved. She died during the Siege of Luthadel, slain by Koloss.

History[]

Early Life[]

Tindwyl was born into Terris society through the breeding programs. She was a member of the Synid and worked to undermine the Final Empire. When forced into the breeding programs, she hid the fact that she was a Feruchemist in order to give birth to Feruchemist children. Later, as a member of the Synid, she was critical of Sazed's defiance of the counsel.

The Well of Ascension[]

Tyndwil introduced herself to Elend in order to teach him to be a good ruler. She also continued her relationship with Sazed and they fell in love. They fought together against the Koloss and she was killed.

The Hero of Ages[]

Sazed mours the death of Tyndwil and tried to search for a 'True Religion' in order to find prove that Tyndwil was in an afterlife.

Quotes[]

A man can only lead when others accept him as their leader, and he has only as much authority as his subjects give to him. All of the brilliant ideas isn't he world cannot save your Kingdom if no one will listen to them.
The men I read about, Sazed... these were not men who sat and planned the best ways to hide. They fought; they sought victory. Sometimes they were reckless, and other men called them fools. Yet when the dice were cast and the bodies counted, they were men who changed things.
If you perpetuate the dreams of the past, then you stifle your own dreams of the future.
A good King is one who is trusted by his people--and one who is deserving of that trust.
We must make allowances for the occasional exception.
A man can only stumble for so long before he either falls or stands up straight.
Sometimes, people only seem determined upon one course because they have been offered no other options.
I only ever saw one man pushing the Synod toward active measures. While they planned how to keep themselves hidden, one man wanted to attack. While they decided the best ways to foil the Breeders, one man wanted to plot the downfall of the Final Empire. When I rejoined my people, I found that man still fighting. Alone. Condemned for fraternizing with thieves and rebels, he quietly accepted his punishment. That man went on to free us all.
You lost the throne because you wouldn't command your armies to secure the city, because you insisted on giving the Assembly too much freedom, and because you don't employ assassins or other forms of pressure. In short, Elend Venture, you lost the throne because you are a good man.
Hope is never wasted.
Do you know why I love you, Sazed? Because you never give in. Other men are strong like bricks — firm, unyielding, but if you pound on them long enough, they crack. You... you're strong like the wind. Always there, so willing to bend, but never apologetic for the times when you must be firm. I don't think any of your friends understand what a power they had in you.
Your king is a humble scholar and thinker, but he has the will of a warrior. He is a man who has the nerve to fight, and I think—perhaps—you have yet to see the best of him.
You are so much more than you are willing to accept, child. Why look at only one side of yourself, when your Elend sees so much more?

Trivia[]

Despite having become Harmony, Sazed has not yet learned to reach where Tindwyl is and so they are still separated.
At least one of Tindwyl's daughters survived the Catacendre, though we do not know yet whether Sazed met them after his ascension.
