'''Luthadel''' was the capital city of the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].
Located in the center of the [[Central Dominance]], Luthadel was the cultural and political center of the Final Empire during the [[Lord Ruler]]'s reign. Interestingly, Luthadel was not particularly advanced technologically, likely due to the Lord Ruler's continuing efforts to suppress technological development.
Luthadel was also unique in the Final Empire in that it was the only city allowed to have a city wall. While a few other cities had natural fortifications ([[Fadrex City]], for example, was surrounded by rocky outcroppings that acted as a natural barrier against attack), the Lord Ruler only allowed man made fortifications around his city. Interestingly, this wall seems to have acted more as a status symbol than actual defense, since the 8 gates were spaced roughly equidistant around the perimeter, and the height of the wall was not sufficient to prevent [[koloss]] from scaling the wall.▼

Like all major cities in the Final Empire, Luthadel was built near a number of mines, thus hampering the ability of [[Ruin]] to monitor the establishment of the Lord Ruler's stockpiles.{{cite}}
