=== City Defenses ===
Luthadel was the only city in the Final Empire that was allowed to have a city wall.{{book ref|mb3|25}} This stone wall was massive — only the largest koloss were barely able to mount it{{book ref|mb2|53}} — but during the entire reign of the Lord Ruler no army has ever marched on Luthadel.{{book ref|mb1|19}}{{book ref|mb1|26}} Battlements were built on top,{{book ref|mb1|8}} with the occasional watchtower{{book ref|mb2|52}} in which presumably the stairwells were located.{{book ref|mb2|51}} <br>
Only eight gates gave entrance to Luthadel, all more or less equally spread over Luthadel's perimeter.{{map ref|Luthadel}} They were large wooden gates that opened with hinges.{{book ref|mb2|52}} However, these gates mostly had a practical purpose,{{book ref|mb1|24}} they weren't meant to withstand a large scale attack.{{book ref|mb2|50}} <br>
Grates were installed in the River Channerel where it crossed Luthadel's wall, both above and under the water, both as defense in case of an attack and to prevent people from secretly getting in and out.{{book ref|mb2|42}}
Besides the regular troops and archers of the Luthadel Garrison, the Steel Ministry had hazekillers in their service,{{book ref|mb1|33}} and archers who used obsidian-tipped arrows,{{book ref|mb1|34}} to fight rebellious Allomancers. On top of the forces in Luthadel, the Lord Ruler and the Steel Ministry could marshal literally millions of troops from all throughout the Final Empire if the need arose.{{book ref|mb1|19}}
