In the Mistborn series, Streetslots emerge as a defining feature of the industrial city of Urteau in The Hero of Ages, transforming the city's dried-up canal beds into deep, walled troughs repurposed as dusty, muddy roadways hemmed by towering 10-foot walls. These networked channels, accessed via ladders and ramps to elevated sidewalks and buildings, reflect the desperate ingenuity of a populace grappling with the Lord Ruler's legacy amid escalating apocalyptic threats. Though confined to this single novel, Streetslots vividly underscore Urteau's chaotic urban decay and play a pivotal role in the narrative's climactic maneuvers.
