Ministerio del Acero

The Steel Ministry was one of the Lord Ruler's governmental organizations, made up of those known to to practice the art of Hemalurgy.

Canton

The cantons were subsections of the Steel Ministry.

There were four canonical cantons: the Canton of Orthodoxy, the Canton of Finance, the Canton of Resource, and the Canton of Inquisition.

Canton of Orthodoxy

The Canton of Orthodoxy had organizational dominance over the other three cantons. They were the bureaucratic arm of the Steel Ministry. The nobility at court used obligators to witness a myriad of things, even something as simple as promise to come to a game of shelldry.

As the an authority in bureaucratic matters, any mercantile contracts, divorces, weddings, land purchases, inheritances and any other important dealings could only be authorised by the Canton of Orthodoxy. It was said if an obligator hadn't witnessed an event or sealed a documents, it might as well not have happened or been written.

There is a long standing rivalry between the Canton of Orthodoxy and Inquisition, for the Canton of Inquisition believed that they should have dominance over the other Cantons. They are eventually given the dominance when they capture Vin and prove that she is the Lord Prelan's half-breed daughter.

The Ministry's Canton of Finance is described as an imposing building.

When one enters the building, one will find a desk at the end of an extended entryway, with an obligator manning the desk. Decorations within the building are generally sparse and lacking. It is often described as austere, bearing only the most necessary furniture and simple grey carpeting, the walls also lacking adornments . An exception to that rule is the waiting room. With plush chairs and lavish decor, the room clearly catered to the tastes of visiting noblemen.
