== History & Mythology ==
In [[Terris]] prophecy, it was said to be hidden deep within the Terris Mountains
Before [[Vin]] released the power within the Well, it served as a prison for the [[Shard]] Ruin
It is unknown whether the Well still exists after the [[Catacendre]].
== Location ==
The entrance to the Well lies in the Lord Ruler's study, and was designed to be opened by an [[Iron]]pull of tremendous strength, such that the Lord Ruler was one of the few individuals capable of opening it. One section of the wall, presumably weighing several tons, could be pulled on to reveal a passageway, which leads to the the stone chamber that houses the Well of Ascension.{{book ref|mb2|57}} The Well appears as a shimmering, glowing white pool full of liquid metal. The pool lies in a shallow depression in the rock and is only a few feet in diameter.{{book ref|mb2|58}}
