As the [[Deepness]] gained strength and caused more problems, [[Alendi]], considered to be the [[Hero of Ages]], conquered the world then traveled to the [[Well of Ascension]], ostensibly to defeat the Deepness. When Alendi's travelling party was almost at their destination, [[Rashek]] killed Alendi and entered the Well of Ascension in his place. During [[Ascension of the Lord Ruler|his Ascension]], Rashek used to power to remake the world and create a number of new species including the [[mistwraith]]s. He also used his power fundamentally alter the planet's location and ecology even changing the humans that populated it into [[skaa]] or [[noble]]s.{{epigraph ref|mb3|17}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|25}}
After returning from the Well of Ascension, Rashek impersonated Alendi,{{wob ref|3502}} and bribed several monarchs into supporting him by giving them beads of [[lerasium]].{{wob ref|8001}} He then conquered, killed, or suborned his remaining rivals, and founded the Final Empire, proclaiming himself the Lord Ruler. He ruled over his empire for another millennium.{{
As the Lord Ruler, Rashek built a stable and self-sustaining empire. No dissent was tolerated, not even from nobility, and all religions except his [[Steel Ministry]] were banned. The last religion to keep fighting, the [[Valla]], was destroyed in the late fifth century of his rule.{{book ref|mb1|29}}
