There were no recorded attacks on Luthadel during the Lord Ruler's tenure there. Whether there actually were any attacks is unknown, given the Lord Ruler's tendency to hide the shortcomings of his rule. The only known assault of the city occurred approximately one year after the Lord Ruler's death. At the time, the city was ruled by [[Elend Venture]], in his capacity as King of the Central Dominance. Luthadel was besieged by three armies simultaneously, including one army of koloss.<ref>[[The Well of Ascension (book)|TWoA]] </ref> The seige culminated with the koloss army attacking, representing the only time that the walls of Luthadel were successfully breached by an opposing army.
Following Lord [[Ferson Penrod|Penrod]]'s installation as a subject king under Emperor Venture, Luthadel experienced a brief period of relative stability and prosperity. This period ended when [[Marsh]], the head [[Steel Inquisitor]], implanted a hemolurgical spike into Lord Penrod. Between the whisperings of Ruin and the increasing disasters, Lord Penrod was unable to effectively maintain order in Luthadel. Eventually, Lord Penrod realized the extent of the problems, and ordered the evacuation of Luthadel to the nearby [[Pits of Hathsin]], where the [[Terris]] people had established themselves.
Luthadel was subsequently destroyed by a combination of volcanic activity and extreme fires when [[Vin]] gained the power of [[Preservation]]. The last rememnants of the city were erased during the remaking of the world that followed.
