Snow fell some winters, but not each year. Aftermath of ash rain was visible by small drifts and flurries of black blowing across the streets. Ash was surprisingly easy to wash out of clothes.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>

Birch forests could grow in the Central Dominance. Ground below consisted (partly) of granite.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>

 

==== Mist ====

Contradictory to earlier: noblemen considered fear of mist to be a foolish skaa superstition.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>

==== Ash ====

A lot of shops at Kenton Street, also/especially for Nobles.{{book ref|mb1|17}} <br>

Sootwarrens slum. Every few decades or so, new sections were added, and the city wall expanded due to the effort of skaa labor, thanks to canals stone was cheap.{{book ref|mb1|19}} <br>

 

(The Twists: one of the most impoverished skaa slums.{{book ref|mb1|27}})

=== Collapse (1022 FE) ===

When a young nobleman seriously wishes to court a certain lady, he gives her a handkerchief. Nobles wear metal as a symbol of power and pride, but because that makes them vulnerable to Allomancy they often wear wood painted like metal instead. Plantation lords often spent their winters in Luthadel, during the time in between the planting seasons. The Steel Ministry allows nobles to bed any skaa woman they want, but they have to kill her shortly afterwards to prevent the birth of half-breeds, according to Dox this isn't considered as cheating.{{book ref|mb1|22}} <br>

Shan Elariel was considered to be the perfect noblewoman. Young nobles often started forming alliances before they succeeded their fathers.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>

 

==== Balls ====

Skaa could work as ash cleaners.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>

Many skaa had heard of Allomancy, but only a few knew what it could do, because noble Mistings rarely showed their powers, and skaa halfbreed had to be even more careful.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>

 

=== Underground ===

Obligators seem to be only nobles.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>

The Canton of Orthodoxy formed the main bureaucratic arm of the Misitry. (Sidenote: obligators had tattoos around their eyes, the higher their rank the more intricate their tattoos) Obligators had to witness every event, written document or agreement, otherwise it wouldn't have happened formally. This was a smart way for the Ministry to know everything about the nobility.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>

 

=== During the New Empire ===

//ash cleaning should probably be moved here <br>

Condemned men (and women) were sent to the Pits of Hathsin, not clear what the criteria were though.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>

 

=== Military ===

{{for|Luthadel Garrison}}

 

"The Lord Ruler and the Steel Ministry could marshal literally millions of troops if the need arose."{{book ref|mb1|19}} <br>

 

Luthadel had a massive wall, but that was unnecessary since the Lord Ruler controlled everything and no army would attack during his reign.{{book ref|mb1|19}} It was the only city in the Final Empire that was allowed to have a city wall.{{cite}}
