Difference between revisions of "Noble"

The '''Nobles''' arewere a race of humans on [[Scadrial]], currently featured in the [[Mistborn trilogy]].

The nobles were effectively created by the [[Lord Ruler]] when he forcibly divided the people of the world. The nobles arewere descendants of the people who supported the Lord Ruler on his rise to power. Due to centuries of (mostly) keeping to themselves, nobles and [[skaa]] have basically diverged into two distinct races of humans. All [[Allomancer]]s havehad a noble descendant somewhere along their heritage. This is because when the Lord Ruler came to power, he gave his initial supporters beads of [[lerasium]] which imparted to them the powers of a [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]].

The life of the nobles iswas rife with secrecy and plotting. Almost all nobles arewere driven by gaining money, power, or social prestige.

All nobles arewere divided among different Houses. Each house hashad its own agenda and worksworked towards its own betterment. Each house individually hashad its own political enemies and allies. Generally, leadership of a house iswas inherited.

Mostmany (but not all) nobles arewere Allomancers to some degree. Very few, however, are actual mistborns. This iswas due to the thinning of [[Preservation]]'s power through the generations of nobles.
