The Ashmounts were enormous volcanoes in the Final Empire.[1]
![[1]](#cite_note-Final_Empire.png-1){kind=link}
They were created by Rashek during his initial contact with the Well of Ascension to counteract his moving the planet too close to the sun, by blocking some of the sunlight so that it doesn't get too hot.Rashek also made microbes to eat the ash to stop it from piling up. They are the source of Ashfall whose purpose was to fill the air with massive clouds of ash to keep the planet from overheating.
During Sazed's Ascension, he restored Scadrial to its original state, eliminating the need for the ashmounts.
Ashmounts in the Final Empire
There were seven ashmounts in the Final Empire:
- Tyrian, in the Central Dominance, near Luthadel
- Zerinah, in the Southern Dominance, southwest of Luthadel
- Doriel, in the Southern Dominance, almost due south of Luthadel
- Faleast, in the Eastern Dominance, south-southeast of Luthadel
- Morag, in the Western Dominance, west-northwest of Luthadel
- Torinost, in the Western Dominance, north-northwest of Luthadel
- Kalling, in the Northern Dominance, northeast of Luthadel
