Alendi is a Seeker[1] and ruler from Khlennium on Scadrial, and author of Alendi's journal.
Appearance and Personality
Little of Alendi's appearance is known, however Kwaan's inscription does mention a few of his features. Kwaan says that he is very tall, towering over most others and has a bearing that demands respect. [2] He also has a birthmark on his arm and his hair turned grey when he was barely twenty five, minor details which served to further convince Kwaan that he was the Hero of Ages. [3]
History
Alendi grew up as the son of a blacksmith.[4] Certain circumstances forced him to leave his home village[5] and led him to Khlennium.[6] It is likely that these circumstances started exactly sixteen years before the Well of Ascension was refilled[7] and included the first signs of the Deepness.
During his first months in Khlennium, Alendi met the Worldbringer Kwaan and became his assistant for an unknown time.[8] A couple of years later, Kwaan slowly became convinced that Alendi fit the Terris prophecies and must be the Hero of Ages.[9] Initially the other Worldbringers met Kwaan with scorn when he announced this[10] but after a while even the other Worldbringers became convinced that Alendi must be the Hero of Ages,[11] as Alendi fueled these rumors to persuade the world of his cause,[12] and Ruin slightly altered the prophecies to fit Alendi.[13]
At some point in time Alendi became king of Khlennium,[4] possibly by marrying the previous king's daughter.[14] Under the growing threat of the Deepness, Alendi united several nations (including Terris[15]), some by diplomacy[16] and others by conquering them[17]. Except for a few dissenters, Alendi was able to create a general unity on Scadrial under reign of Khlennium.[16]
After Alendi spent a decade leading armies, the Terris Worldbringers decided that Alendi, the assumed Hero of Ages, should set forth to the Well of Ascension[18] and give up its power in the name of the greater good.[19] However, Kwaan realised that some being deceived them all by altering the prophecies, but he couldn't convince Alendi and the other Worldbringers[20] that the power at the Well should not be released.[21] Soon Alendi departed towards the Well of Ascension, giving no heed to Kwaan's warning since Alendi surrounded himself with other counselors who told him what he wanted to hear.[22]
Once arrived in Terris Alendi replaced his normal attendants by Terris packmen who could carry his gear in the cold unforgiving mountains,[23] they were a group of Feruchemists led by Rashek.[24] Alendi started keeping a logbook,[25] in which he also described hearing pulses coming from the Well[26] due to his abilities as a Seeker.[27] [expand]
What Alendi did not know was that Kwaan instructed Rashek to do everything in his power to keep Alendi away from the Well of Ascension,[20] and if necessary even kill Alendi to prevent him from giving up the Well's power.[20] Since the pulses coming from the Well drew Alendi closer with each beat,[26] Rashek could not lead him astray and was forced to kill the King of Khlennium shortly before arriving at their destination.
