Diferencia entre revisiones de «Luthadel»

Located in the center of the [[Central Dominance]], Luthadel was the cultural and political center of the Final Empire during the [[Lord Ruler]]'s reign. Interestingly, Luthadel was not particularly advanced technologically, likely due to the Lord Ruler's continuing efforts to suppress technological development.{{cite}}

Luthadel was also unique in the Final Empire in that it was the only city allowed to have a city wall. While a few other cities had natural fortifications ([[Fadrex City]], for example, was surrounded by rocky outcroppings that acted as a natural barrier against attack), the Lord Ruler only allowed man made fortifications around his city.{{book ref|mb3|25}} Interestingly, this wall seems to have acted more as a status symbol than actual defense, since the 8 gates were spaced roughly equidistant around the perimeter, and the height of the wall was not sufficient to prevent [[koloss]] from scaling the wall once enough of their bodies lay at its base.{{book ref|mb2|52}}

Like all major cities in the Final Empire, Luthadel was built near a number of mines, thus hampering the ability of [[Ruin]] to monitor the establishment of the Lord Ruler's stockpiles.{{citebook ref|mb3|63}}
