▲The '''Dominances''' were the ten regions of governance in the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].{{map ref|Final Empire|The Final Empire}}
They were feudal states, each plantation owing allegiance to higher lords that controlled the region, and then those that controlled the dominance, but were all beneath the [[Lord Ruler]].
__NOTOC__
== Inner Dominances ==
=== Central Dominance ===
==== Politics ====
This dominance can be found in the center of the Final Empire, and holds the city of [[Luthadel]], capital of the Final Empire. It was the most politically significant dominance in all the Final Empire. Although it was the smallest dominance in terms of land area, it was more populous then any other as well. The Great Houses all maintained noble keeps here to keep their fingers on the pulse of the empire. Noble balls and other sources of intrigue kept the nobles entertained. This was the economic center of the Final Empire and fortunes were regularly won and lost through business dealings and backstabbing.
The Lord Ruler's influence was pervasive here. The obligators and Inquisitors of the [[Steel Ministry]] were never far away.
==== Notable Locations ====
Places of interest included the caves known as the [[Pits of Hathsin]], as well as Ruin's [[
Other locations include [[Suisna]].{{expand}}
=== Northern Dominance ===
==== Resources & Economics ====
The streams in the Northern Dominance allow it to grow more crops then most regions in the Final Empire. In addition to these crops the dominance also produces many valuable metals sold throughout the world. These factors combine to make the Northern Dominance the second most rich dominance

Places of interest included the [[Conventical of Seran]] and [[Erlac]].
=== Western Dominance ===
Capital: [[Tremredare]], and later [[Fadrex City]]. It also contained [[Chardees]], [[Chakath]], and [[Mantiz]].

=== Farmost Dominance ===
Located to the the north-west of the Western Dominance, the Farmost Dominance is largely unknown, however it is known that it is home to multiple primitive societies.{{cite}}
=== Crescent Dominance ===
The crescent dominance is the far-most eastern dominance in the Final Empire. No character in the series is from this place, nor have any of the characters traveled there. As such, very little is known about it.
The land is a desolate, sandy expanse. It is inhabited only by bandit and nomad tribes made of fugitive skaa, who survive by raiding the Eastern Dominance. Now that some bandit kings are declaring their own nations, koloss hordes are being dispatched to eliminate them.
=== Southern Islands ===
The '''Remote Dominance''' was located in the the most wild and untamed of all the Dominances. It was located to the southwest of the Eastern Dominance, below the Southern Islands. The Remote Dominance was home to many beasts, such as uncontrolled hordes of [[koloss]] that were charged with hunting the carnivorous [[mistwraith]]s native to the area.
While this area does have a noble and military presence it is extremely limited. Most people lived within heavily garrisoned walls, with little influence beyond the small cities and outposts. Some people did manage to survive outside the walls in the wilderness, but they tended to be escapees and adventurers who
