{{for|Battle of Luthadel}}
=== Capital of the New Empire (1024-1026 FE) ===
As soon as Elend Venture was crowned emperor of the New Empire, he appointed Ferson Penrod as king of the Central Dominance and thereby regional ruler of the empire's capital, Luthadel. The Luthadel Assembly was left in place, with the addition that Emperor Venture had imperial veto.{{book ref|mb3|5}}
Elend took the bulk of his army and set off to unify all the Inner Dominances under the New Empire. As the Deepness was most dense near the Outer Dominances and slowly got stronger towards the Central Dominance, Elend sent all residents of the remote cities where he took control to Luthadel, where they would work the fields in a desperate attempt to grow food.{{book ref|mb3|8}} This was done because only the area closest to Luthadel still got enough daylight to grow food due to the increasing amounts of mist and ash, and as a result growing food became a very laborious effort as well.{{book ref|mb3|5}} The resources found at the secured storage caches in Statlin City and Vetitan were sent to Luthadel, via the canals that ran throughout the entire Inner Dominances and provided the most viable option of transport by use of barges.{{book ref|mb3|8}}
Meanwhile the lack of food in the capital resulted in a lot of riots, and this only got worse when food stores were being pillaged.{{book ref|mb3|40}} Growing food was clearly a priority, indicated by the many heaps of trash and mounts of ash within the city.{{book ref|mb3|42}} King Penrod failed to keep the city under control, and sent lieutenant Conrad as a messenger to Elend's main army, with the request for more troops to restore order.{{book ref|mb3|40}} Elend answered this request by sending General Demoux and his three hundred mistfallen soldiers back to the capital, to prevent further friction in the main army as these men weren't very well liked among the soldiers; this way two problems were solved at once.{{book ref|mb3|47}}
- Terris refugees who lived at Hathsin kept a good communication with Penrod in Luthadel{{book ref|mb3|22}}
- Growing food was obviously a priority—and keeping the city clean could wait for later, if there was a later. More heaps of trash and mounts of ash. Penrod used keep Venture as his palace, it was the seat of Elend's government. Marsh spiked Penrod which brought him under Ruin's influence.{{book ref|mb3|42}}
- "He speaks to the air, my lord, talks to himself—claims that he can see the Lord Ruler standing beside him. Penrod . . . he’s given lots of strange orders, lately. Forcing the skaa to fight each other for food, claiming that only the strong should survive. He kills those who disagree with him. That kind of thing."{{book ref|mb3|52}}
- TenSoon, imitating the Survivor, spread rumors Penrod indeed was corrupted by Ruin (the thing that seeks to destroy the world), to gather the faithful and escape Luthadel before Penrod kills them all, and hide underground.{{book ref|mb3|52}}
- Vin fought with the Inquisitors and destroyed Kredik Shaw.
- "It appeared to be empty. Luthadel, largest metropolis in the Final Empire, seat of his government. Empty. Much of it in ruins, a good third of it burned, and Kredik Shaw itself flattened as if it had been pounded by the fist of a god." Penrod killed because Ruin was driving him mad. People of Luthadel fled the city to the Terris refugees, hiding underground in the many caverns there.{{book ref|mb3|77}}
- "Penrod, my lord," Demoux said softly. "They say he went mad. He began finding traitors in the nobility, even within his own army. He divided the city, and it turned into another house war. Almost all of the soldiers killed one another, and the city half burned down."{{book ref|mb3|80}}

Luthadel has city clocks.{{book ref|mb3|77}}
Two winters ago—when we fought the koloss at Luthadel—was the first I’d seen snow in the Central Dominance, and this last winter was even worse.{{book ref|mb3|5}}
Large basement uncommon in Luthadel.{{book ref|mb3|43}}
During the days of the Lord Ruler , Luthadel had been the most crowded city in the world. Filled with three- and four-story tenements, it had been packed with the skaa who’d worked its numerous furnaces and forges, with the noble merchants who’d sold its goods, and with the high nobility who’d simply wanted to be near the imperial court.{{book ref|mb3|52}}
