The '''skaa''' were a race of humans on [[Scadrial]].
 
The skaa were effectively created by the [[Lord Ruler]] when he forcibly divided the people of the world. Skaa are descendants of the people who did not support Thethe Lord Ruler during his rise to power, unlike the [[:Category:Nobles|Noblesnobles]].{{citeref|b|tfe|c|19}} DueDuring tohis centuries[[Ascension]], the Lord Ruler altered the physiology of (mostly)people. keepingThe tomajority themselves,of Noblesthe andpeople he changed became skaa; hadbuilt divergedto intobe twoshorter, distincthardier, racesand ofmore humansfertile.{{citeref|b|hoa|e|25}} These physical differences were small, and have mostly been erased by noble and skaa interbreeding over the thousand years of the [[Final Empire]]'s history. All skaa [[Allomancer]]s are the result of Nobleboble and skaa blood mixing during some point in the person's heritage.{{citeref|b|hoa|e|62}}
 
Physically, the skaa are of average human traits, although slightly more resilient, and producing more children than the [[Noble]]s.
 
== Culture ==
 
While not technically [[wikipedia:Slavery|slaves]], because by law they are not property of their masters, in practice this is quite the opposite. The skaa are the beaten down, oppressed working class, and because of this many are timid in regards to the nobles. Skaa generally keep to themselves, and in the cities, a large number turn to a life of crime to sustain themselves.
