Canton of Resource

Canton of Resource appears in Mistborn.

The Canton of Resource, one of the Steel Ministry's five administrative divisions, is the logistical backbone of the Final Empire's vast resource management system. While its presence is felt throughout the series, its most significant narrative impact occurs in The Hero of Ages, where its operations become critical to the survival of humanity during the apocalyptic events of the Catacendre. The Canton evolves from a faceless bureaucratic entity into a symbol of the Empire's collapse and the desperate measures taken to preserve civilization.
