=== Underground ===
As the place closest to the Lord Ruler, and thus the most riches, Luthadel has more corruption among the skaa population than any other city in the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb1|18}} The larger portion of the underground consists of thieves, crews, whores and beggars, but fewer in number are the [[skaa rebellion|skaa rebels]] whose goal was not personal gain but to resist the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb1|4}} However, life is hard for these people. Most brothels kill their skaa whores periodically to keep the Inquisitors placated.{{book ref|mb1|22}} Scavenging is difficult in Luthadel,{{book ref|mb1|3}} and only skaa with severe disfigurements are allowed to beg.{{book ref|mb1|11}} Men in the underground often spent months without their family to protect them,{{book ref|mb1|22}} as they would be safe and hidden when the man got caught, especially if he was a Misting because then the Inquisitors would wipe out his entire bloodline at all costs.{{book ref|mb1|24}}

Allomancers ...
About 1:10000 Mistings among skaa-halfbreeds, depending on lineage.{{book ref|mb1|3}}
Mistcloak warns city guard and other Mistborn not to bother you.{{book ref|mb1|5}}
Nearly all Mistborn are members of Great Houses, or else minor nobles, only very few half-skaa.{{book ref|mb1|7}}
Practically each Mistborn has atium, but is reluctant to actually use it because it's so expensive.{{book ref|mb1|13}}
One of the most dangerous professions in the underground was that of informant, as even members of Great Houses met them personally to find out more about their rivals.{{book ref|mb1|19}} However, it's better to not use them too much, as every question asked will be sold as information to other clients.{{book ref|mb1|12}} Their other and main sources of news are servants.{{book ref|mb1|12}} <br>
Hoid spent some time in Luthadel, where he acted as an informant. He
Transport (passwalls and canal underground) ...
Skaa in the Central Dominance could travel via the canal underground because noblemen never paid attention to skaa faces.{{book ref|mb1|23}}
Hilde's passwall{{book ref|mb2|42}}
''To do: include Reen's sayings'' <br>
Thieve crew's lairs weren't supposed to exist, often in basements beneath buildings, with the cover of a shop or warehouse.{{book ref|mb1|1}} <br>
Stealing from Steel Ministry only done when desperate.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Successful crew leader gains wealth for entire crew, by sometimes tempting to kill crew leader and take money
2 types of crews: regular ones like Camon's and Theron's (crumbs), and special crews that used Allomancers (extremely skillful, foolhardy and talented). Didn't mix, but Misting crews sometimes hired regular crews for mundane work and choose a representative (twixt). Allomancer crews were often small and specialized and worked together
Kelsier was already most infamous crewleader, a legend, in Luthadel before Hathsin. Robbed from wealthiest Great Houses and brought them to their knees. One had to overcome fear of Mists to get somewhere in the underworld

Regular thieves wouldn't get a couple of weeks to recover, they'd had to get back to work or were abandoned for death.{{book ref|mb1|16}} <br>
▲Hoid spent some time in Luthadel, where he acted as an informant. He'd been around long for an informant, but most informants didn't have a long life as it was a dangerous profession. Even members Great Houses went to informants personally.{{book ref|mb1|19}} <br>

"We aren’t like other crews you’ve known-we work as we please, not because we are told to. It pays for us to be very discerning in the jobs we take. The rewards are great, but so are the risks."{{book ref|mb1|33}} <br>
