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.{{epigraph ref|mb3|72}}
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}}
At some point Rashek attempted to destroy the Final Empire, possibly due to the risk of his own children becoming more powerful than him. {{https://wob.coppermind.net/events/239/#e5505}}
[[Kelsier's crew]] planned the [[Skaa rebellion]], resulting in the fall of the Final Empire. The empire fractured into several competing kingdoms, but eventually consolidated under [[Elend Venture]]'s [[New Empire]].{{cite}}
