The series primarily takes place in a region called the Final Empire on a world called Scadrial. One thousand years before the story begins, the ruler of the Final Empire, the Lord Ruler, gained access to a divine power at what is called the "Well of Ascension".[8] With this power, he remade the world and everything in it into its state at the beginning of the first book.

Lord Cett made this city his base after the fall of the Lord Ruler for this very reason. The nobility are the descendants of the early supporters of the Lord Ruler. The Lord Ruler gave them the gift of Allomancy because of their support...
