→Steel Ministry: alright, Terris stewardship program doesn't have to be explained here, I'll see about the rest. Might move part of the Canton of Inquisition paragraph to the #Military#Inquisitors section

The Canton of Resource is in charge of matters like feeding the people, maintaining the canals, and transportation and storage across the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb3|44}} It is the best place for men with an analytical mind.{{wob ref|7766}} They keep record of many things, including maps of mineral deposits.{{book ref|mb3|63}} Most engineers who work on Luthadel's city plans are obligators.{{wob ref|3045}} Besides being the force of bureaucracy and legal authority in the Final Empire, the Steel Ministry also is like a noble house on itself; the more wealth it has, the more leverage it has with the noble houses. The Canton of Finance provides the Ministry with the funds they need for their operations, and can be seen as its bank, trading and negotiating with noble houses to close lucrative contracts.{{book ref|mb1|1}}
The Canton of Inquisition has the most ominous reputation of the the Ministry. It was founded in the sixth century of the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb3|44}} They act as law enforcement, and a large part consist of hunting down skaa half-breeds. Unlike other Cantons the Canton of Inquisition is led by the Steel Inquisitors, but they also have regular obligators working under them. The Steel Ministry considers the 'misuse' of Allomancy to be the most reprehensible of sins,{{book ref|mb1|11}} which in their eyes means skaa half-breeds who use Allomancy, and when the Inquisitors discover one they kill not only them but their children as well to wipe out the entire bloodline.{{book ref|mb1|24}} Because of this the Canton of Inquisition recruits noblemen Seekers diligently,{{book ref|mb1|27}} and in addition all obligators are trained to recognize emotional Allomancy.{{book ref|mb1|2}} When a regular thieving crew was discovered in Luthadel, obligators and their troops were sent to capture the thieves and make a good show of them on execution day, although in special cases where Allomancy was involved they took no captives but instead an Inquisitor killed the entire crew immediately.{{book ref|mb1|11}}
Furthermore, the Steel Ministry has about three dozens{{book ref|mb1|29}} of Soothing stations spread throughout Luthadel, most of which are located in the slums. Every station is manned by at least three{{book ref|mb1|29}} Soothers, a Seeker, and a a Smoker to keep them hidden.{{book ref|mb1|27}} The only duty of these Soothers is to extend a depressing influence around them, preventing rebellious thoughts among the population, and because they're not trying to get the people to do anything specific their influence is very hard to notice. It is likely that the Inquisitors get most of their leads on skaa Allomancers from the Seekers in these stations, as they are able to detect Allomancers when they least expect it. Their existence is a closely guarded secret, which makes the Soothing stations very effective, and to ensure this personnel changes are only done at night.{{book ref|mb1|27}}
