Location from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
The political heartland of the Final Empire containing Luthadel, the capital. The most densely populated and economically powerful region, home to the greatest noble houses.
The Central Dominance is where power concentrates in the Final Empire. Luthadel sits at its center, connected by roads and canals to the surrounding agricultural lands that feed the capital. The great noble houses maintain plantation estates throughout the dominance, worked by skaa laborers in conditions ranging from harsh to brutal depending on the house. After the Lord Ruler's fall, the Central Dominance became the core of Elend's fledgling kingdom, though its borders were immediately contested by neighboring dominance lords and koloss armies.
Flat plains and river valleys radiating outward from Luthadel, dotted with noble plantations and skaa farming communities. Roads connect the capital to outlying towns and canal ports. The landscape is perpetually grey-brown with ash, the fields worked by skaa laborers growing ash-resistant crops.
