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]].

 

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}}

 

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, as well as prevent any who would seek the Well from finding it.{{epigraph ref|mb3|12}}

 

With the power of the Well, he came to understand the three [[Metallic Arts]], Allomancy, Feruchemy and Hemalurgy.{{epigraph ref|mb3|9}}

 

 

While Rashek still held the power of the Well, he created three Hemalurgic Constructs: [[koloss]], [[kandra]] and [[Steel Inquisitor]]s.

 

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}}
