The '''storage caverns''' are five caches of supplies hidden in caverns beneath certain cities in the [[Final Empire]], left behind by the [[Lord Ruler]]. Each one contains a metal plate giving the location of the next cavern, and providing some advice or information from the Lord Ruler. Every cache contained a large supply of food and grain, but each one also had its own specialty.

Storage cavern
World Scadrial
Universe Cosmere

“He knew, Vin ... The Lord Ruler. He suspected that this day would come - a day when the mists returned and food would be scarce. So, he prepared these supply depots. ”

—Elend on the storage caverns[1]

The storage caverns are five caches of supplies, left behind by the Lord Ruler, and hidden in caverns beneath certain cities in the Final Empire. Each one contains a metal plate giving the location of the next cavern, and provides some advice or information from the Lord Ruler. Every cache contains a large supply of food and grain, but each one also has its own specialty.

The first cavern discovered is beneath Luthadel itself.[2] The other caverns are in Statlin City,[2] Urteau,[3] Vetitan,[1] and Fadrex City[1] and discovered in this order.

Caches

Each cavern is in a rocky area, near metal mines, beneath a building of the Steel Ministry. The metal underground shields the caches from Ruin, to prevent him from discovering them.[4]
All caches are in or near the Central Dominance, with Luthadel's cavern in the center and the other four forming a box around it.[4]

Every discovered cache is bigger than the previous one.[1] The Lord Ruler started constructing them eight hundred years into his reign.[5]

Luthadel

The first cavern is discovered beneath Luthadel, hidden within Kredik Shaw.[2] Like all caches, it contains many shelves of canned food. A large metal plaque hangs on the wall, depicting a map of the Final Empire with a circle around Statlin City, the location of the next storage cavern.[2] A long tunnel leads from the storage cavern to a smaller room which holds the Well of Ascension.[6]

“Kredik Shaw isn’t simply a palace, but a capstone. Built to hide something. This. ”

—Vin upon discovering Luthadel's cache[2]

Statlin City

The second cavern is in Statlin City.[2] This cache contains large amounts of lumber, and a description of aluminum.[1]

Urteau

The third cavern lies in Urteau.[4] Information on electrum can be found here.[1] This cache holds a massive amount of water which used to fill Urteau's canals,[7] and is filtered naturally by layers of rock.[8]

Vetitan

Vetitan is home to the fourth cavern.[4] Its metal plate reveals the existence of malatium, that koloss and kandra can be controlled by using strong emotional Allomancy, and that only one's thoughts are safe from Ruin.[1]

Fadrex City

The fifth and last cavern is situated in Fadrex City.[4] Notably, no useful information is left here, besides the Lord Ruler's words "I have hidden his body well",[5] referring to the atium, Ruin's godmetal, that is stored in the Trustwarren.[9]
