=== Architecture ===
Most buildings are constructed of stone blocks, with peaked wooden roofs or tile roofs for the rich, and are packed closely together, generally being three stories high.{{book ref|mb1|2}} Only a few buildings have a flat roof, because this means needing to shovel ash off occasionally.{{book ref|mb1|10}} Large basements are uncommon.{{book ref|mb3|43}}
Many skaa live in large packed tenements, in exceptional cases these could get six stories high.{{book ref|mb1|32}} Contradictory to noblemen's stone houses with a lot of small rooms, wooden skaa tenements consist of large rooms with a central hearth because this is the most efficient way to look after a large population with limited resources.{{book ref|mb2|42}}

Condemned men (and women) were sent to the Pits of Hathsin, not clear what the criteria were though.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>
People, both skaa and nobles, needed permission to pass through Luthadel's gates.{{book ref|mb1|24}} <br>
//executions <br>
Occasionally, executions took place, often when a thieving crew was captured, or just random skaa (even just women and children) as examples for the entire population. The ringing of bells announced this, and all men in the city, both skaa and noble, were required to attend them, or else the punishment would be death. These took place at the Square of the Survivor, but a lot of skaa stood further away in other streets. Bleachers were set up for the nobility.{{book ref|mb1|26}}
Executions could go on for hours. Normally there would be any kind of denunciations or explanations, but not always. The Ministry just left the corpses and bloodied water in fountains right there.{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
To prevent the city being buried, skaa workers gather the ash and throw it in the River Channerel.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Sometimes ash from the city was carted and piled out of the city, instead of thrown in the river.{{book ref|mb1|8}} <br>
Skaa often worked in forges or mills.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Only a few most talented skaa were allowed to practice a profession, like Clubs being a carpenter.{{book ref|mb1|6}} <br>
Skaa also worked in mines, had twelve-hour work days.{{book ref|mb1|10}} <br>
Skaa could work as ash cleaners.{{book ref|mb1|20}} <br>
Most skaa lived in packed tenements.{{book ref|mb1|24}} <br>
