It frequently rains ash over the city, which is commanded by a man goes by the name “Lord Ruler” and, being immortal, is considered a fearsome god by his subjects, ruling with the help of an equally intimidating ministry, whose main officers have nails in place of their eyes.Īfter several failed attempts of rebellion, the Skaa finally see a possibility of victory when they hire a famous band of thieves, led by the mysterious Kelsier, to take on the task of coordinating the conflict. The setting is the great city of Luthadel, the center of a feudal empire that has in its foundations the constant exploration of the poor, the peasant class called Skaa.
