=== Climate ===
Luthadel is located relatively close to most of the [[Ashmounts]].{{map ref|Final Empire}}
▲Luthadel is located relatively close to most of the [[Ashmounts]].{{map ref|Final Empire}} To prevent the city being buried, skaa workers gather the ash and throw it in the [[River Channerel]]. Luthadel's soil contains lots of minerals and metal traces that can be burned when ingested via ground water.{{book ref|mb1|2}}({{book ref|mb1|7}}) <br>
Landscape around Luthadel: barren save for scrub and weeds, reasonably flat with small hills
Even Noblemen and thieves reluctant about entering Mists.(culture section maybe?) Ambient starlight diffused by Mists was enough to see most times. Normal plants were brown.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>▼
▲Landscape around Luthadel: barren save for scrub and weeds, reasonably flat with small hills. Sometimes ash from the city was carted and piled out of the city, instead of thrown in the river. Mist is wet. Mistwraiths outside the city, are relatively harmless, just scavengers.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
Poisonous red (afternoon) sun.{{book ref|mb1|10}} <br>
At night, soft rain made no difference because of mist.{{book ref|mb1|13}} <br>▼
▲Rain makes the mist pull away.{{book ref|mb1|14}} <br>
Luthadel could have heavy rainfalls.{{book ref|mb1|15}} <br>
Flora in Central Dominance: usually brown or white, but when cultivated also red, orange and yellow. Wilderness outside the city. "The dry plants, the angry sun, the smoky-black sky".
Landscape: brown hills, scraggly trees and rug of weedy underbrush.{{book ref|mb1|19}} <br>
Snow fell some winters, but not each year
Birch forests could grow in the Central Dominance. Ground below consisted (partly) of granite.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>
Mist-grown lichen on stones.{{book ref|mb1|24}} <br>
"Outside, the sun was setting in a fiery blaze of frustration."{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
Snow wasn't common around Luthadel before the Deepness, or else it was just an icy slush
==== Mist ====
▲Even
Mist.({{expand}}with{{book ref|mb1|7}}) <br>
▲At night, soft rain made no difference because of mist, as mist is wet.{{book ref|mb1|13}} <br>
Rain makes the mist pull away.{{book ref|mb1|14}} <br>
"The sun sank beneath the horizon, and while its light was still a flare in the west, the mists began to appear. They didn’t come from one specific place, they just sort of… grew. They extended like translucent, twisting vines in the sky—curling back and forth, lengthening, dancing, melding."{{book ref|mb1|17}} <br>
Contradictory to earlier: noblemen considered fear of mist to be a foolish skaa superstition.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>
"Outside, the sunlight was nearly gone, and diaphanous patches of mist were beginning to form in the air. They hung like ghosts, slowly growing larger, extending their influence as night approached."{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
==== Ash ====
To prevent the city being buried, skaa workers gather the ash and throw it in the River Channerel.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Sometimes ash from the city was carted and piled out of the city, instead of thrown in the river.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
Aftermath of ash rain was visible by small drifts and flurries of black blowing across the streets. Ash was surprisingly easy to wash out of clothes.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>
"A light ashfall had begun, and careless flakes floated down from the sky, like leaves dropped from some unseen tree."{{book ref|mb1|26}} <br>
[[File: Luthadel-color.jpg|thumb|right|<center><small>by [[Isaac Stewart]]</small></center>Map of Luthadel]]
=== Layout ===
The River Channerel runs straight through Luthadel.{{map ref|Luthadel}} <br>
Fellise acted as a small suburb-style city an hour outside of Luthadel.{{book ref|mb1|6}} <br>
=== Keeps ===
About a dozen monolithic keeps spread throughout Luthadel. They have spearlike spires or deep archways. Most open grounds in Luthadel are around these keeps.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Ghostly, looming silhouettes at night.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
==== Nobility ====
//Controlling the skaa <br>
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>
=== Economy ===
Trade and transport to and from Luthadel often happened using canal boats.{{book ref|mb1|1}} <br>
Main export product is metal, hundreds of forges and refineries in Luthadel, even though the [[River Channerel]] provides excellent opportunity to mills for grinding grains and making textiles. Bells chime when skaa must get to work in the morning.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
