New Empire

The New Empire is the term for Elend Venture's reign on Scadrial.

After the Collapse Venture was crowned to rule over the Central Dominance. He worked on a whole new constitution with the aim to give the Skaa workers a chance to get involved in politics.

During the first year a board was the center of the New Empire. It consisted of 24 members, including 8 Skaa, 8 Nobles (inclusive of the king himself) and 8 tradesmen. This structrure was abolished after the Siege of Luthadel. Henceforward the New Empire was a monarchy under King Venture and his wife Vin.

Up until the year of the Final Ascension, the New Empire gathered an army of over fifty thousand soldiers. The army of the New Empire was known for its well trained warriors. The last year of its existance was affected by battles against Ruin's Koloss armies and natural disasters.

In the course of the time each inner Dominance fell under the reign of the New Empire. However its capital, Luthadel fell victim to revolts and a House War. The survivers escaped from the natural disasters into the cache of Luthadel or into the Pits of Hathsin.

During the battle for the Pits of Hathsin, Elend and Vin Venture died. The Final Ascension followed. This meant the end of the New Empire and the beginning of the time of harmony.
