== History & Mythology ==
Before [[Vin]] released the power within the Well , the Well of Ascension served as Ruin's prison for what appears to be several millenia. Preservation created the prison by sacrificing his mind to create something capable of containing Ruin's mind. With his mind gone Preservation's body and power were left in the world creating the Mists and the Well of Ascension respectively.▼

Preservation created the prison by sacrificing his mind to create something capable of containing Ruin's mind. With his mind gone, Preservation's body and power were left in the world, creating the Mists and the Well of Ascension respectively.
The entrance to the Well lies in the Lord Ruler's study, and was designed to be opened by an Ironpull of tremendous strength, such that The Lord Ruler was one of the few individuals capable of opening it. One section of the wall, presumably weighing several tons, could be pulled on to reveal a passageway, which leads to the the stone chamber that houses the Well of Ascension. The well appears as a shimmering, glowing white pool that appears to be full of liquid metal. The pool lies in a shallow depression in the rock and is only a few feet in diameter.▼
 
It is unknown whether the Well still exists after the [[Catacendre]].
▲As Allomancy is of Preservation particularly strong Seekers such as [[Vin]] and [[Alendi]] can sense the pulsing of the Well of Ascension as it refills with power.
