▲'''Luthadel''' was the capital city of the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]]. It was governed by the [[Lord Ruler]] for over a thousand years. After the [[Collapse]], Luthadel became the capital city of the [[New Empire]].
== Geography ==
Blackened city, scorched by soot and red sunlight, hard, distinct, oppressive. At night Mist made everything obscure. Metal chimneys.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
Only a few buildings, like Clubs's shop, had a flat roof, because flat roof meant having to shovel ash off occasionally.{{book ref|mb1|10}}(some flat roofs had railings{{book ref|mb1|26}}) <br>
Luthadel had sewers.{{book ref|mb1|13}} <br>
== Landmarks ==
=== Collapse (1022 FE) ===
{{for|Collapse}}
=== Siege of Luthadel (1022-1024 FE) ===
Stealing from Steel Ministry only done when desperate.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Successful crew leader gains wealth for entire crew, by sometimes tempting to kill crew leader and take money. Scavenging and begging is difficult in Luthadel. About 1:10000 Mistings among skaa-halfbreeds, depending on lineage.{{book ref|mb1|3}} <br>
2 types of crews: regular ones like Camon's and Theron's (crumbs), and special crews that used Allomancers (extremely skillful, foolhardy and talented). Didn't mix, but Misting crews sometimes hired regular crews for mundane work and choose a representative (twixt). Allomancer crews were often small and specialized and worked together. Larger portion of underground: thieves, crews, whores and beggars; other side: rebels.{{book ref|mb1|4}} <br>
Kelsier was already most infamous crewleader, a legend, in Luthadel before Hathsin. Robbed from wealthiest Great Houses and brought them to their knees. One had to overcome fear of Mists to get somewhere in the underworld. Mistcloak warns city guard and other Mistborn not to bother you.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
Nearly all Mistborn are members of Great Houses, or else minor nobles, only very few half-skaa.{{book ref|mb1|7}} <br>
Luthadel had a massive wall, but that was unnecessary since the Lord Ruler controlled everything and no army would attack during his reign.{{book ref|mb1|19}} It was the only city in the Final Empire that was allowed to have a city wall.{{cite}}
==== Luthadel Garrison ====
{{for|Luthadel Garrison}}
The Luthadel Garrison was a standing force of twenty thousand well-armed, well-trained troops.{{book ref|mb1|6}} Its primary duty is to maintain order in [[Luthadel]]. Soldiers in the Garrison are mainly skaa who sold out to the Lord Ruler in exchange for a better life, and like all mercenaries they would fight whomever they got payed for.{{book ref|mb1|24}} One of their responsibilities was to guard Luthadel's walls and gates, and question both skaa and lesser nobles about their motives to leave the city to prevent too much travel in the Final Empire. Another of their tasks was to do (nighttime{{book ref|mb1|7}}) patrols on the streets and keep up an intimidating face while wearing full armor, especially in skaa slums, which made them not very well liked. They also had to stop rebels when needed, but hired extra part-time soldiers if such a situation would occur.{{book ref|mb1|24}} Like the Steel Ministry watched the nobility, the Garrison watched the skaa.{{book ref|mb1|12}} <br>
Their fortifications are close to the Steel Gate. The complex had a defensive appearance and was guarded by hostile looking soldiers at the gates. Large spikes were mounted on the wall that ran around it, and the buildings within were bulky and fortified.{{book ref|mb1|24}}
▲Garrison occasionally hired soldiers temporarily. When the garrison was out to hunt rebels, Luthadel's walls and gates were understaffed because only ten percent of the garrison stayed behind.{{book ref|mb1|26}}
==== Kredik Shaw palace guard ====
==== Inquisitors ====
{{for|Steel Inquisitor}}
At least nine Inquisitors in Luthadel{{book ref|mb1|26}}, not much more{{book ref|mb1|11}}.
==== Koloss army ====
