The '''Final Empire''' was the major state on [[Scadrial]] for over 1000 years.
{{attention}}
== History ==
[[Alendi]] conquered the world in anticipation of becoming the [[Hero of Ages]]. [[Rashek]] [[Ascension|Ascended]] by taking the power at the [[Well of Ascension]]. He remade the world and created a number of new species including the [[Koloss]] and the [[Mistwraith|Mistwraiths]].
The empire had a standing army around [[Luthadel]] including a number of garrisons. The [[Luthadel]] Garrison consisted of twenty thousand troops, mostly skaa, and many of the smaller towns in the [[Central Dominance]] had smaller Garrisons of their own, such as [[Valtroux]] and [[Holstep]]. There is also a substantial army of koloss who can be under the control of the [[Lord Ruler]] or a remote [[Inquisitor]]. The [[Canton of Inquisition]] itself are trained and formidable warriors, each one more than capable of overcoming any targets. Presumably the openly [[Mistborn]] and [[Misting]] [[Noble]]s can be required to form a militia under the Lord Ruler's command at any point. The Noble houses themselves operate guardsmen, militias and armies when necessary. In addition to this the Lord Ruler can field any of the [[kandra]] as covert operatives with the ability to accurately imitate and replace any target who's skeleton is available.
== Atium Economy
The atium economy acts as one of the many ways [[Lord Ruler]] controlled the Final Empire.
=== Mining ===
A [[noble]] house is in charge of the mining camp at the [[pits of Hathsin]], for example, House [[Venture]] at [[Vin]]'s time. The miners are most serious skaa criminals. To conceal the secret of mining location and process, the skaa sent there are forced to mine to death; not a single prisoner has escaped to tell the story before [[Kellsier]].
For more information, see the [[pits of Hathsin]].
=== Transportation ===
A big portion of the [[atium]] mined at the [[Pits of Hathsin]] is secretly transported by the Canton of Resource. Atium beads are disguised as and hidden in Ministry funds, since metal coins radiates powerful light in the [[Cognitive Realm]], blending beads and coins blinds [[Ruin]] from noticing where the god metal goes.{{book ref|mb3|79}}
