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.
 
 
When a third army -- an army of twenty thousand Koloss, led by King Jastes Lekal -- arrives, Elend still tries to convince the Assembly to stay with diplomatic efforts, avoiding a battle that would be desperate and cost a lot of lives.
 
 
When a meeting with Straff is finally arranged, the Assembly schedules a meeting at the same time, knowing that Elend couldn't participate and -- in his absence -- depose him, appointing Lord Penrod as new king. They then decide to accept Straff as their emperor, although he would never get the city.

World Scadrial
Universe Cosmere

The New Empire follows the Final Empire on Scadrial after the Collapse and Siege of Luthadel.

Foundation[edit]

After the Battle of Luthadel, when Elend Venture takes control of Cett's and Straff's armies, he establishes the New Empire. Vin kills Straff in the battle, and forces Straff's general Janarle as well as Cett to swear loyalty to Elend.

Leaders[edit]

Further Events in the New Empire[edit]

By the year of the Final Ascension, the New Empire has an army of over fifty thousand soldiers. The army of the New Empire is known for its well trained warriors.[citation needed] The last year of its existence is affected by battles against Ruin's Koloss armies and natural disasters.

One of Elend's primary goals as emperor is to secure the cities containing the storage caverns to ensure those supplies are available to the empire's people. Elend and Vin rescue the city of Vetitan which is being attacked by koloss and claim it for the New Empire; Elend makes its (formerly skaa) leader, Fatren, a lord.

In the course of time, each inner Dominance comes under the reign of the New Empire. However, its capital, Luthadel falls victim to revolts and a House War due to Ruin's influence on King Penrod through a Hemalurgic spike.[1] The survivors escape from the natural disasters into the cache of Luthadel or into the Pits of Hathsin.

During the Battle of Hathsin, both Elend and Vin die. Technically, Sazed is very briefly emperor before his Final Ascension.
