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.

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.
