The frequent ashfalls have a big impact on Scadrial's climate. To compensate for the planet being placed very close to the sun, seven Ashmounts fill the air with thick clouds of ash. These clouds block sunlight and so prevent the planet from becoming too warm to live. Most of the Ashmounts are located relatively close to Luthadel,{{map ref|Final Empire}} but as a side effect the fallen ash has to be carted and piled out of the city{{book ref|mb1|8}} or thrown in the River Channerel,{{book ref|mb1|2}} lest the city would get buried.{{book ref|mb1|2}} The ashfalls are not constant, they happen occasionally in a pattern that is similar to rainfalls. It is remarkably easy to wash ash out of clothes.{{book ref|mb1|20}}
Another unique weather phenomenon is Scadrial's mist. It is not present during daytime, but as soon as the sun sets the mist starts to appear out of nothing like ghosts, slowly growing larger and extending their influence.{{book ref|mb1|17}}{{book ref|mb1|27}} This mist shows some unnatural behavior, which is why there is a lot of superstition and fear surrounding the mist among skaa and nobles alike.{{book ref|mb1|5}} It looks like twisting vines in the sky curling back and forth, seeming to be somehow alive.{{book ref|mb1|17}} Ambient starlight diffused by mist was enough to see most nights.{{book ref|mb1|5}} As might be expected the mist is wet, even moist enough to let lichen to grow on stones,{{book ref|mb1|24}} and soft rain at night

=== Keeps ===
Spread throughout Luthadel are about a dozen monolithic keeps, built with spearlike spires and deep archways, and most open grounds in the city
Keeps look like ghostly, looming silhouettes at night with bronze or copper sheetings on their roofs, and have a defensive wall with normal armed guards around them, but this is often more artistic than actual fortification.{{book ref|mb1|5}} Prominent in especially the ballrooms are intricate stained-glass windows, often showing mythology dedicated to the Lord Ruler and the Deepness
During balls some keeps
Without doubt, [[Keep Venture]]
Keep Hasting consists of a tall round central keep, surrounded by six auxiliary towers, each set off from the main building a short distance and connected to it by walltop walkways, and the ballroom at the top of the central tower

Skaa are shorter than nobles. Nobles could get allomantic powers, skaa only if they had a noble ancestor somewhere in the last five generations.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>▼
"Technically, the Lord Ruler owns the skaa, but the noblemen rent them, and are allowed to kill as many as they want." Skaa aren't people to nobles.{{book ref|mb1|22}} <br>▼

Tobacco was an expensive luxury.{{book ref|mb1|19}} <br>
Skaa could work as ash cleaners.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>
Skaa are shorter than nobles. 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>
Most skaa lived in packed tenements.{{book ref|mb1|24}} <br>
Skaa in the Final Empire aren't allowed to travel on their own,{{book ref|mb1|6}} and even a lot of thieves never leave their plantation or town.{{book ref|mb1|8}} However, there are illegal ways for skaa to travel in the Central Dominance. There is an underground movement network to help runaways travel the canals from plantation to plantation, which isn't noticed because noblemen don't pay attention to skaa faces.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>
Getting in and out of Luthadel is more difficult, as all city gates are guarded and both skaa and nobles need permission to pass through them{{book ref|mb1|24}} after interview and interrogation.{{book ref|mb2|42}} Ways to get around this are the so called passwalls, most of which are in the form of tunnels with hidden entrances or ropes being thrown over the city walls.{{book ref|mb2|42}}

House Venture was responsible for mining the Lord Ruler's atium. This made them the richest noble house, but they were vulnerable too in case they couldn't meet the Lord Ruler's quotas.{{book ref|mb1|28}} <br>
