Noblemen considered it an insult to use (emotional) Allomancy in formal settings.{{book ref|mb1|11}} <br>
"hasn’t been an all-out war among the Great Houses for over a century, but the last one was devastating."{{book ref|mb1|12}} <br>
When Great Houses grew nervous, more Allomancers held watch, but noblemen Mistings wouldn't like being forced to guard duty. Many nobility blatantly wore metal, a foolish form of bravado. High taxes for Great Houses. Lord Ruler sees nobles as "the children of his long-dead friends and allies, the men who supposedly helped him defeat the Deepness".{{book ref|mb1|19}} <br>
Major noble families generally never had more than three children because they had trouble reproducing. When two noblemen had a dispute, they'd settle it with a duel, not clear if that was a duel to the death though.{{book ref|mb1|21}} <br>
When a young nobleman seriously wishes to court a certain lady, he gives her a handkerchief. Nobles wear metal as a symbol of power and pride, but because that makes them vulnerable to Allomancy they often wear wood painted like metal instead. Plantation lords often spent their winters in Luthadel, during the time in between the planting seasons. The Steel Ministry allows nobles to bed any skaa woman they want, but they have to kill her shortly afterwards to prevent the birth of half-breeds, according to Dox this isn't considered as cheating.{{book ref|mb1|22}} <br>
Shan Elariel was considered to be the perfect noblewoman. Young nobles often started forming alliances before they succeeded their fathers.{{book ref|mb1|23}} <br>
House wars are mainly political, and balls are the political battlefields.{{book ref|mb1|24}} <br>
The aristocracy is primarily a financial institution, and lack of funds will bring any house down.{{book ref|mb1|27}} <br>
Straff Venture was considered to be the perfect imperial nobleman, being tall, firm-shouldered and always dressed in a tailored vest and suit. House Hasting was a strong mercantile house, but also dependent upon their contracts; having one main source of income makes a house vulnerable too. House Tekiel left Luthadel and was killed in their canal boats, likely by other nobles. Nobles are willing to kill rivals when it benefits them. "Kind of like thieving crews, she thought. The nobility really aren’t that different from the people I grew up around." Nobility mimicked the Lord Ruler; they wear metal rings because he does, even though it makes them vulnerable to Allomancers and Inquisitors.{{book ref|mb1|28}} <br>
Open execution of a nobleman could happen as punishment for reading forbidden books for example, but was infrequent.{{book ref|mb1|30}} <br>
Noblemen weren't supposed to be afraid of the mist, but it still makes them feel uncomfortable.{{book ref|mb1|31}} <br>
 
//middle class, lesser nobles <br>
Most nobles weren't rich enough to be considered part of a Great House. Being noble is about lineage, not money.{{book ref|mb1|2}} <br>
Lesser nobles could be guard at a noble keep.{{book ref|mb1|5}} <br>
Some brothels use women of very poor — but noble — birth.{{book ref|mb1|22}} <br>
Straff Venture wasn't allowed to execute his lesser noble guards, but he still punished them with brutal disciplinary forms.{{book ref|mb1|31}} <br>
