It was a cosmopolitan hub, and eventually came to be ruled by [[Alendi]].{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|16}} Its fate after the [[Ascension of the Lord Ruler\|Ascension of Rashek]] was unclear. However, he appropriated elements of Khlenni culture — such as their architecture, fashion and inventions like pocket watches — in building the [[Final Empire]].{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|26}} == Geography == During the [[Classical Scadrial\|classical era]] on [[Scadrial]], Khlennium's location was relatively central — between the isles in the South and the [[Terris]] hills in the North,{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|12}} and between the great nations to the east and the fiery empire of the West.{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|16}} The lands of Khlennium are mostly flat without mountains, and look dreary.{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|3}} {{theory}} As no further record of Khlennium's existence is given during the [[Final Empire]], it is possible that the kingdom lay in what became an uninhabitable area after the [[Ascension]] of [[Rashek]] since lands too far south of Scadrial's north pole became too hot to live.{{ref\|text=Khlennium lay south{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|3}} of where Luthadel was situated later on,{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|12}} plus Scadrial's crust was shifted during the Ascension{{wob ref\|8042}} which removed Khlennium even further from the geographic north pole.\|group=note}} == History == Khlennium was once a city and kingdom of great importance. It eventually came to be ruled by [[Alendi]],{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|16}} possibly by marrying the previous king's daughter{{epigraph ref\|mb2\|21}} as he was presumed to be the [[Hero of Ages]].{{epigraph ref\|mb2\|30}} During a decade under his leadership,{{epigraph ref\|mb2\|9}} Khlennium united with several nations (including [[Terris]]){{epigraph ref\|mb2\|23}} through both diplomacy{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|10}} and conquest,{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|1}} creating a general force of unity{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|10}} to combat the growing threat of the [[Deepness]].{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|5}} In an attempt to save Khlennium from the Deepness, Alendi departed on an expedition to the [[Well of Ascension]] in Terris.{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|6}} However, he was killed by [[Rashek]] before reaching it, who then took the Well's power for himself and subsequently changed the planet.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|9}} After his Ascension, Rashek, impersonating Alendi, assumed the throne of Khlennium.{{wob ref\|3502}} It is unclear what happened to the kingdom afterwards.{{book ref\|mb1\|15}}{{book ref\|mb1\|16}} == Culture == The city of Khlennium was regarded as one of “wonder”.{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|16}} It was a cultural hub, with people of many nations,{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|26}} including Terris [[Worldbringers]] (such as [[Kwaan]]).{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|19}} It had marvelous architecture — magnificent cathedrals, stained glass windows, broad halls.{{book ref\|mb1\|32}} Their architectural and civil engineering prowess allowed them to build grand structures and cities,{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|28}} and among its monuments was the great Khlenni library.{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|19}} They also had technological innovations, such as pocket watches,{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|29}} as well as their own language — their word for the Hero of Ages was [[Rabzeen]].{{epigraph ref\|mb2\|12}} The Khlenni were viewed as oppressors by the Terris.{{epigraph ref\|mb2\|53}} However, many young Terrismen adopted Khlenni fashion, rather than their furs, while in the cities.{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|32}} Men wore tailored gentlemen’s suits;{{epigraph ref\|mb1\|32}} ladies wore gowns.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|26}}. The Khlenni government included a council, of which [[Helenntion]] was one of its last survivors.{{book ref\|mb2\|45}} == See also == Khlennium's knowledge and tradition were used by the [[Lord Ruler]] in the formation of the [[Final Empire]]. Namely, the aristocracy and architecture of Khlennium was used, mixed with the practices of other civilizations of the Classical Era.{{ref\|b\|mb3\|e\|26}} In addition, Khlenni fashion, such as suits for men and gowns for women, was integrated into the Final Empire. * [[Alendi]] * [[Classical Scadrial]] == Notes == <references /> ; Footnotes ~~{{stub}}~~ <references group=note/> {{Mistborn\|trilogy}}▼ {{complete}} ▲{{Mistborn\|~~trilogy~~era 1}} [[Category: Khlenni\| ]]
