+ | The Skaa are a race of humans on [[Scadrial]], currently featured in [[Mistborn|The Mistborn Trilogy]]. The Skaa were effectively created by [[The Lord Ruler]] when he forcibly divided the people of the world. Skaa are descendants of the people who did not support The Lord Ruler during his rise to power, unlike the [[Nobles]]. Due to centuries of (mostly) keeping to themselves, Nobles and Skaa have basically diverged into two distinct races of humans. All skaa [[allomancer|allomancers]] are the result of Noble and Skaa blood mixing during some point in the person's heritage. |

Only very skilled skaa were able to have a trade and work as a craftsman, like [[Clubs]], although they were still underpaid and looked down upon by the nobility{{book ref|mb1|6}}. |
