Elend's White Uniform

Elend's White Uniform begins as a deliberate rejection of noble ostentation and a symbol of his idealistic leadership, but evolves into a powerful emblem of hope and moral authority that persists even after his transformation into a Mistborn. Across the series, the uniform transitions from a political statement to a rallying point for the new empire, its pristine white fabric becoming increasingly stained by the realities of war and leadership yet never abandoned. By the final book, it represents both the purity of Elend's vision and the sacrifices required to achieve it, worn into battle as a beacon against the encroaching darkness.
