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 some kind of sewer system.{{book ref|mb1|13}} <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>
== Landmarks ==
Defensive wall with normal armed guards, more artistic than fortification, sturdy buttressings, spires, stained-glass windows, bronze or copper sheeting on roof.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
Rectangular building. Was illuminated when they gave a ball, mirrors were used to shine light on the keep. Main hall four or five stories high. Limelights were illuminated outside ("somehow, the quicklime stones can be heated to brilliance without melting them"). Stained-glass depicted religious and mythological scenes, for example the Deepness.{{book ref|mb1|12}} <br>
Without doubt, Keep Venture was the finest of all keeps in Luthadel.{{book ref|mb1|30}}
==== Keep Elariel ====
A bit smaller than Keep Venture, but had a separate party ballroom, all stained-glass windows in the ceiling.{{book ref|mb1|18}} <br>
''Update on rebellion.'' With the Garrison gone, nobility became the main focus.{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
More and more noble families were leaving Luthadel.{{book ref|mb1|29}} <br>
House Venture hosted the last ball before the Collapse, at which all nobles were securing bonds with their faction. The house war officially started when House Elariel attacked House Venture at this evening.{{book ref|mb1|30}} <br>
The Lord Ruler did nothing to stop the house war, as if he wanted it to happen. "Like a wildfire, left to blaze and renew a field."{{book ref|mb1|32}} <br>
=== Collapse (1022 FE) ===
The aristocracy is primarily a financial institution, and lack of funds will bring any house down.{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
Straff Venture was considered to be the perfect imperial nobleman, being tall, firm-shouldered and always dressed in a tailored vest and suit. House Hasting was a strong mercantile house, but also dependent upon their contracts; having one main source of income makes a house vulnerable too. House Tekiel left Luthadel and was killed in their canal boats, likely by other nobles. Nobles are willing to kill rivals when it benefits them. "Kind of like thieving crews, she thought. The nobility really aren’t that different from the people I grew up around." Nobility mimicked the Lord Ruler; they wear metal rings because he does, even though it makes them vulnerable to Allomancers and Inquisitors.{{book ref|mb1|28}} <br>
Open execution of a nobleman could happen as punishment for reading forbidden books for example, but was infrequent.{{book ref|mb1|30}} <br>
Noblemen weren't supposed to be afraid of the mist, but it still makes them feel uncomfortable.{{book ref|mb1|31}} <br>
==== Balls ====
"The parties now served the additional purpose of warning and showing strength."{{book ref|mb1|28}} <br>
Most balls were in the weekends.{{book ref|mb1|29}} <br>
Great Houses hosted a ball roughly once a month. Balls were hosted by different houses in turns. Some nobles acted as informants on balls.{{book ref|mb1|30}} <br>
=== Middle class ===
Lesser nobles could be guard at a noble keep.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
Some brothels use women of very poor — but noble — birth.{{book ref|mb1|22}} <br>
Straff Venture wasn't allowed to execute his lesser noble guards, but he still punished them with brutal disciplinary forms.{{book ref|mb1|31}} <br>
=== Skaa ===
Obligators were robed in gray, Inquisitors in black. The higher an obligator's position, the finer their robes. The Lord Prelan was higher ranked than the Inquisitors.{{book ref|mb1|26}} <br>
Acolytes trained for five years before finishing their training in Luthadel, and most were younger than Marsh at that time. Particularly the Canton of Inquisition recruits nobleman Seekers diligently. The Ministry was far more competent than they showed the world. There are political tensions between Inquisitors and obligators, the lord prelan leads the church but Inquisitors think that should be their responsibility. Obligators lead a busy life, and most higher-ranked ones are Mistings. ''Canton of Inquisition tattoos''.{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
Inquisitors are far more loyal to the Lord Ruler than regular obligators, and that's were there is tension between these groups.{{book ref|mb1|32}}
'''Soothing stations:''' The Ministry has dozens of soothing stations spread throughout Luthadel. Each one contains a couple of skilled Ministry Soothers who's only task is to depress the emotions of everyone near, to prevent rebellious thoughts. Each team also has a Smoker to keep them hidden and a Seeker to watch for passing Allomancers. They do personnel changes at night.{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
