Eastern Dominance

Chaotic Inner Dominance with southern villages, clay soil fields, and rural skaa populations.

The Eastern Dominance emerges as a fractured, rural expanse in Mistborn's second book, defined by its clay-soiled fields and scattered skaa villages that stand in stark contrast to the centralized power of Luthadel. Throughout the series, this region evolves from a mere backdrop of agrarian hardship into a critical theater of rebellion and political realignment, its isolation becoming both a liability and an asset as the Final Empire collapses. By the later books, the Eastern Dominance transforms into a contested frontier where new alliances and power structures take root, reflecting the broader upheaval reshaping Scadrial.
