The '''New Empire''' follows the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]] after the death of the Lord Ruler and the [[Collapse]].
=== Origin ===
Following his ideas of a fair government Elend creates a constitution with the aim of giving the [[skaa]] a chance to get involved in politics. This parliament is called the Assembly. It consists of 24 members, including 8 skaa workers, 8 [[noble]]s (including the king) and 8 tradesmen.
=== The Assembly During the Siege of Luthadel ===
When King [[Straff Venture]] brings his army to Luthadel to retake the city from his son Elend, the Assembly becomes a threat to Elend's ability to function as king. Taking into consideration the coming winter, the scarcity of food and wood/oil to heat the tenements and, before all, the fact that there are only twenty thousand, mostly untrained, of their soldiers in the city, the Assembly wants to give the city to Straff. With effort, Elend is able to convince the majority of the Assembly to give him time to set up a meeting with his father. Elend is sure that Straff won't attack the city. Then a second army comes to Luthadel, headed by another King, [[Ashweather Cett]], making the Assembly even more nervous. Cett makes his way into the city and is allowed to take residence in one of the abandoned Noble's Keeps. Now two armies besiege Luthadel.
There were twenty-four members, split into three eights, representing the Nobility, the merchant class, and the newly-freed skaa population. The named members include the following.

=== After the Battle ===
The Assembly is abolished after the [[Battle of Luthadel]]. Henceforward the New Empire is a monarchy under Emperor [[Elend Venture]] and [[Vin]]. King [[Penrod]] is left as regional leader of [[Luthadel]], along with [[Janarle]] as leader of the [[Northern Dominance]] and [[Ashweather Cett]] as king of the [[Western Dominance]], although his seat was usurped by [[Aradan Yomen]].

However, its capital, [[Luthadel]] falls victim to revolts and a House War.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=77}} The survivors escape from the natural disasters into the cache of Luthadel or into the [[Pits of Hathsin]].
