===The Final Empire===
The Final Empire was a mixture of the cultures of many different nations that existed before it, the clothing and architecture of Khlennium, Skaa were based on the slave people of the [[Canzi]], and Terris Stewards were based upon the servant class of the [[Urtan]]. The government was also heavily based on the bureaucratic mercantile system of the [[Hallant]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|27}}
The Skaa has a rich folklore that they shared amongst themselves, speaking of beings such as Mistwraiths, Spren, and Shades.{{book ref|mb3|27}} With Mistwraiths being a particularly large part of their folklore, and the reason that they fear the mists.{{book ref|mb1|9}} They thought that Mistwraiths could take a person's face or fully impersonate them; and in to prove them real you have to take them out into the sunlight and insure they don't disappear.{{book ref|mb1|prologue}}{{book ref|mb1|4}}
Steel Inquisitors also played a role in their folklore, being seen as immortal warriors that could see into one's soul.{{book ref|mb1|4}}
Religiously, they are taught to worship the Lord Ruler as a god.
