Skaa Meal Chip

The Skaa Meal Chip, a crude wooden token emblematic of the skaa's oppressed existence under the Lord Ruler's Final Empire, serves as a vital ration marker for workers to claim meager meals at soup kitchens in Mistborn: The Final Empire. Distributed by brutal overseers, these rough-hewn disks underscore the rigid control and starvation-level subsistence imposed on the skaa populace. Though its direct role diminishes in later books amid the empire's collapse and the rise of new societies, the chip remains a poignant symbol of pre-rebellion drudgery, evolving from a practical necessity to a relic of systemic tyranny.
