Narrowboat

Narrowboat or barge on the canals.

In the Mistborn series, the narrowboat emerges in 'The Hero of Ages' as a humble yet vital element of the canal-based transportation network amidst the world's apocalyptic collapse. These barges symbolize the tenacity of Terris communities and refugees navigating flooded landscapes and ash-choked waterways to survive. Though appearing only in the final book, narrowboats underscore the shift from imperial skaa life to a desperate, waterborne exodus, evolving from mere infrastructure to lifelines in the face of Ruin's cataclysm.
