It was also a [[skaa]] labor camp the [[Lord Ruler]] set up to mine atium crystals. It served the dual purpose of punishing skaa criminals and concealing the location of the Atium mines, as the prisoners could not leave.
 
[[Allomancy]] could not be used to retrieve the crystals, because an [[Iron]]pull would caused them to shatter, so the imprisoned skaa had to mine it by hand.
 
All skaa in the Pits had small scratches along their arms from the jagged crystals. The Pits were overseen by [[House Venture]]. Each skaa had to find an atium geode every week; if they failed, they were beaten to death savagely.
