The skaa were a race of humans on Scadrial.

The skaa were effectively created by the Lord Ruler when he forcibly divided the people of the world. Skaa are descendants of the people who did not support The Lord Ruler during his rise to power, unlike the Nobles.^{[citation needed]} Due to centuries of (mostly) keeping to themselves, Nobles and skaa had diverged into two distinct races of humans.^{[citation needed]} All skaa Allomancers are the result of Noble and skaa blood mixing during some point in the person's heritage.^{[citation needed]}

Physically, the skaa are of average human traits.

Culture

While not technically slaves, because by law they are not property of their masters, in practice this is quite the opposite. The skaa are the beaten down, oppressed working class, and because of this many are timid in regards to the nobles. Skaa generally keep to themselves, and a large number turn to a life of crime to sustain themselves.

Those who are not criminals are worked to near death in some situations by their masters.

Skaa maintain a fear of the evening mists due to folk lore and misinformation spread by the nobles.
