>==History==

There is significant evidence to the fact that Luthadel was not perfectly planned from the beginning, from the unique, piecemeal construction of Kredek Shaw to the presence of the ""Old Gate"" district. Interestingly, there is no mention of old city walls being built around (Jerusalem is a classical example of a city outgrowing its wall, and subsequently building out). Whether this is due to a relatively late entrance of the city wall, or if the Lord Ruler merely mandated tearing down old sections when new walls were added is unknown. Given the relative abundance of Skaa manpower, either option is possible.

There were no recorded attacks on Luthadel during the Lord Ruler's tenure there. Whether there actually were any attacks is unknown, given the Lord Ruler's tendency to hide the shortcomings of his rule. The only known assault of the city occurred approximately one year after the Lord Ruler's death. At the time, the city was ruled by Elend Venture, in his capacity as King of the Central Dominance. Luthadel was besieged by three armies simultaneously, including one army of koloss. The events of this seige are covered in detail in ""The Well of Ascension"". The seige culminated with the koloss army attacking, representing the only time that the walls of Luthadel were successfully breached by an opposing army.
