The '''nobles''' are a race of humans on [[Scadrial]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|25}}
 
== Origin and Traits ==
The nobles were effectively created by the [[Lord Ruler]] when he forcibly divided the people of the world. The nobles are descendants of the people who supported the Lord Ruler on his rise to power. When [[Rashek]] took up the power at the [[Well of Ascension]], he used it to alter mankind as a whole to be more capable of dealing with ash, but he also made physiological changes between the different groups of people; noblemen and [[skaa]]. The nobles are made taller, stronger, less fertile, and more intelligent. These physical differences are small, and have mostly been erased by noble and skaa interbreeding over the thousand years of the [[Final Empire]]'s history. All [[Allomancer]]s have a noble ancestor somewhere along their heritage. This is because when the Lord Ruler came to power, he gave his initial supporters beads of [[lerasium]] which imparted to them the powers of a [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]].
When [[Rashek]] held the power of the [[Well of Ascension]], he altered the biology of all humans so that they would be able to survive in a world of ash. At the same time, he also divided the population into two groups—the nobles and the [[skaa]]—with different physiological traits. As a result, in the times shortly after the [[Ascension of the Lord Ruler]], the nobles were less fertile than the skaa, but were also generally taller, stronger, and more intelligent. These changes were slight, however, and had mostly disappeared as a result of interbreeding by the time of the [[Collapse]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|25}} After his Ascension, Rashek also gave beads of [[lerasium]] to the original nobles,{{wob ref|8001}} which is why only those with a noble ancestor could become [[Allomancer]]s.{{book ref|mb1|3}}
 
Since the nine original Allomancers were already kings in [[Classical Scadrial]],{{wob ref|8001}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|22}} it appears that the people Rashek turned into nobles were primarily of high social status even before his Ascension.

== Powers ==
A portion of nobles are Allomancers. Very few, however, are actual Mistborn. This is due to the thinning of [[Preservation]]'s power through the generations of nobles.
 
Nobles are taller and smarter than skaa, although by the end of the Final Empire this was simply due to education and nutrition.
