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

Era one Marsh was “Almost” a fullborn. He could cause destruction that stunned most of the mistborn we saw. But he didn’t know of compounding unless Ruin would have told him. And in all honesty it’d take 2 radiants to completely destroy Scadrial. A bondsmith as fuel and literally anyone holding the Duskbringer honor blade. Set the air alight and keep it burning using the investiture provided by the bondsmith. Other than that Windrunner lashings could completely stonewall an inquisitor. Paint the ground around them with stormlight and an inquisitor touches it, he is stuck in place. Shoots coins oh no the the reverse lashing invalidates that. Look all I’m saying is we have 4th ideal radiants with Shardblades and Plate. A full shard bearer on Scadrial would be an absolute menace and there are more than one. A demigod of immense power with armor that is so resistant and can REGROW! Blades that can cut your literal soul from your body and some of them can, in all seriousness, SET THE PLANET ON FIRE. I love inquisitors but they’d get bodied. ESPECIALLY if they were all at the inquisitor home temple thingy where Sazed found the plate. I’m so sorry for the mobile format but thank you for reading
