The '''Ascension''' is the name given to the event surrounding the rise of [[Rashek]] as the Lord Ruler of the [[Final Empire]] by taking the power at the [[Well of Ascension]].{{epigraph ref|mb1|?}}
 
==Physical Changes to the Planet==
During the time he held the power of the Well he changed all other living [[Feruchemist]]s into [[Mistwraith]]s and his close friends into the first generation of [[Kandra]]. He did this because he saw and understood the power and risks of Feruchemy.
While Rashek held the power of the Well, he moved the [[Scadrial|planet]] closer to its star in an attempt to defeat the [[Deepness]]. However, this made the planet too hot for the inhabitants of Scadrial to survive, so he created the Ashmounts to shoot ash and smoke into the atmosphere to make it thicker.{{epigraph ref|mb3|4}}
 
As a result, he then also had to change the plant life to be able to survive on less sunlight, and in turn had to alter the people to be able to survive on the less nutritious plants.{{epigraph ref|mb3|5}}
During this time he also moved the [[Scadrial|planet]] closer to its star in an attempt to defeat the [[Deepness]].
 
He moved the Well of Ascension by flattening the Terris of his day. He also created mountains in the area that would become the north, the Terris of the Final Empire. He knew the Well would fill up again and wanted to be prepared to once again take up the power held there.{{epigraph ref|mb3|12}}
He was told of the power of [[Hemalurgy]] by [[Ruin]] but was not told about its cost. While he still held the power of the Well he created three new species through Hemalurgy, [[koloss]], Kandra and [[Steel Inquisitor]]s
 
==Metallic Arts==
He also created the [[Ashmounts]] during this time.{{epigraph ref|mb3|?}}
With the power of the Well, he came to understand the three [[Metallic Arts]], Allomancy, Feruchemy and Hemalurgy.{{epigraph ref|mb3|9}}

====Kandra====
During the time he held the power of the Well, he changed all other living [[Feruchemist]]s into [[Mistwraith]]s and his close friends into the first generation of [[Kandra]]. He did this because he saw and understood the power and risks of Feruchemy.{{epigraph ref|mb3|68}}
 
The [[First Contract]] was given to the kandra as a way for them to govern themselves. It detailed how to create new kandra and also put forth the [[Resolution]], a clause in the contract that stated that if the [[First Generation]] said, all of the kandra were to remove their spikes, becoming mistwraiths again.{{epigraph ref|mb3|11}}
