Ever since he came to rules, he has wiped out all the religions and has established himself as the God. People under his rule have to worship him and only him. He has also divided the society into two classes- the nobles and the skaa. The Skaa are the slaves who are barbarically tortured by the Lord Ruler. They do not have any will or hope to fight against these atrocities.
Kelsier is a skaa thief. He also discovers that he is a Mistborn with special powers. He escapes the dangerous prison camp of the Lord Ruler. He returns to Luthade, the capital city of the Final Empire with a view to assemble together a crew and carry out an impossible heist-to overthrow the Final Empire and the Lord Ruler.
