//central dominance <br>
A week journey to Arguois Caverns, and Arguois Caverns closer to Luthadel than Pits of Hathsin.{{book ref|mb1|6}} <br>
Imperial highroad: flat and packed earth, leading to Fellise.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
=== Climate ===
Luthadel is located relatively close to most of the [[Ashmounts]].{{map ref|Final Empire}} To prevent the city being buried, skaa workers gather the ash and throw it in the [[River Channerel]]. Luthadel's soil contains lots of minerals and metal traces that can be burned when ingested via ground water.{{book ref|mb1|2}}({{book ref|mb1|7}}) <br>
Even Noblemen and thieves reluctant about entering Mists.(culture section maybe?) Ambient starlight diffused by Mists was enough to see most times. Normal plants were brown.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
Landscape around Luthadel: barren save for scrub and weeds, reasonably flat with small hills. Sometimes ash from the city was carted and piled out of the city, instead of thrown in the river. Mist is wet. Mistwraiths outside the city, are relatively harmless, just scavengers.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
=== Layout ===
The [[River Channerel]] runs straight through Luthadel.{{map ref|Luthadel}} <br>
Fellise acted as a small suburb-style city an hour outside of Luthadel.{{book ref|mb1|6}} <br>
Luthadel had a city wall (was the only city in the Final Empire{{cite}}). Even more suburb-style city than only Fellise.{{book ref|mb1|8}}
=== Architecture ===
{{for|Noble}}
Each family that could afford a keep in Luthadel was considered a Great House.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
A major house war happens every couple of centuries, hadn't been one for a long time before the Collapse. Nobles have an unspoken rule: won't use Mistborn to assassinate each other.{{book ref|mb1|6}} <br>
Mistborn were so rare that nobles couldn't afford gender prejudices to them.{{book ref|mb1|7}} <br>
Great Houses often had another residence, besides keep in Luthadel, in a suburb-style city like Fellise, having a keep to count as great house doesn't mean having to live there constantly.{{book ref|mb1|8}}
During the last days of the Final Empire there were ten Great Houses in Luthadel, in order of importance{{book ref|mb1|9}}:
# [[House Venture]]
# [[House Hasting]]
# [[House Elariel]]
# [[House Tekiel]]
# [[House Lekal]]
# [[House Erikeller]]
# [[House Erikell]]
# [[House Haught]]
# [[House Urbain]]
# [[House Buvidas]]
=== Middle class ===
Most skaa barely knew anything about Allomancy.{{book ref|mb1|3}} <br>
Lots of superstitions about people who walk in Mists, but less worse than plantation skaa. Some knowledge about mistwraiths though.{{book ref|mb1|4}} <br>
Only a few most talented skaa were allowed to practice a profession, like Clubs being a carpenter. Clean face on street drew attention. About one million skaa workers in and around Luthadel (also at economy section?).{{book ref|mb1|6}} <br>
Most skaa died before Vin's age (16 years{{cite}}).{{book ref|mb1|8}}
=== Underground ===
Main export product is metal, hundreds of forges and refineries in Luthadel, even though the [[River Channerel]] provides excellent opportunity to mills for grinding grains and making textiles. Bells chime when skaa must get to work in the morning.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Money currency: boxings{{book ref|mb1|3}}, clip smallest coin{{book ref|mb1|7}}. <br>
Lord Ruler is dependent upon atium sale for keeping up his army.{{book ref|mb1|4}} <br>
Many canal routes in the Final Empire. Narrowboats and barges that needed to get pulled were used. Most noblemen used skaa workers instead of horses for this.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
=== Military ===
*Inquisitors
*Koloss army: Stationed at a moderate distance from Luthadel. Lord Ruler could send for them, but have to be kept away from cities.{{book ref|mb1|6}}
Luthadel was the only city in the Final Empire that was allowed to have a city wall.{{cite}}
