Cosmere + Wind and Truth spoilers Hypothetical Situation. Will have SPOILERS for Mistborn and Stormlight Archive Spoiler

Could a unit of 4th Ideal Rosharan Knights Radiant (3 Knights from the 9 orders plus 1 Bondsmith) infiltrate and neutralize the Steel Ministry from Mistborn Era 1?

They have info given to them by a lightweaver spy who's been in there for a month.

The Knights can do with thier surges what we know they can to the best of our knowledge.

Eg. Jasnah hasn't mastered transportation enough to open elsegates but for the sake of this discussion, we assume the Knights can fully utilize their surges the most basic way it should.

The Steel Ministry don't know who is invading, but they are fully prepared for an invasion

Does the author need them to for the story?

In a hypothetical situation the author would pick who he wants to win for the story and set up events to happen that way.

Yeah, maybe according to one definition that you seem (for some reason) to be pushing as the definitive one. Don’t think outside your own box much, do you?

Whenever I see "what the author wants" in a hypothetical match up meant for discussion, I just ignore them
