Many skaa live in large packed tenements, in exceptional cases these could get six stories high.{{book ref|mb1|32}} Contradictory to noblemen's stone houses with a lot of small rooms, wooden skaa tenements consist of large rooms with a central hearth because this is the most efficient way to look after a large population with limited resources.{{book ref|mb2|42}}

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>
Large tenements to pack skaa families were uncommon but existed, and a six-story building like this was exceptional in Luthadel. Skaa tenements mostly had a central hearth, but put it out after preparing the evening meal as wood to burn was too expensive.{{book ref|mb1|32}} <br>
