=== Social Caste ===
The descendants of the people who originally supported the Lord Ruler during his rise to power are now the nobility of the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb2|14}} The Lord Ruler and his allies had access to beads of [[lerasium]], and gained Allomantic powers. Because of this, certain nobles gain the use of Allomancy. There is a wide range of nobles, from the high houses to the impoverished,. but even the lowest noble is still higher than the highest skaa.{{cite}}
 
Skaa descend from people who did not support the Lord Ruler. When he ascended, the skaa were changed so they were more fertile. Skaa cannot become Allomancers unless they have noble blood recently in their lineage. Skaa are essentially slaves, property for nobles to exchange between them, although they are ultimately owned by the Lord Ruler.{{book ref|mb1|prologue}} The best-off skaa will be craftsmen or tradesmen. They and their families will live in relative comfort, but this happens very rarely for skaa.{{cite}}
