== History ==
Alendi grew up as the son of a blacksmith.{{epigraph ref|mb1|16}} Certain circumstances forced him to leave his home village{{epigraph ref|mb1|18}} and led him to Khlennium.{{epigraph ref|mb1|19}} It is likely that these circumstances started exactly sixteen years before the Well of Ascension was refilled{{wob ref|5510}} 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.{{epigraph ref|mb2|11}} A couple of years later, Kwaan slowly became convinced that Alendi fit the Terris prophecies and must be the Hero of Ages.{{epigraph ref|mb2|12}} Initially the other Worldbringers met Kwaan with scorn when he announced this{{epigraph ref|mb2|13}} but after a while even the other Worldbringers became convinced that Alendi must be the Hero of Ages,{{epigraph ref|mb2|30}} as Alendi fueled these rumors to persuade the world of his cause,{{epigraph ref|mb2|16}} and Ruin slightly altered the prophecies to fit Alendi.{{epigraph ref|mb2|46}}
At some point in time Alendi became king of Khlennium,{{epigraph ref|mb1|16}} possibly by marrying the previous king's daughter.{{epigraph ref|mb2|21}} Under the growing threat of the Deepness, Alendi united several nations (including Terris{{epigraph ref|mb2|23}}), some by diplomacy{{epigraph ref|mb1|10}} and others by conquering them{{epigraph ref|mb1|1}}. Except for a few dissenters, Alendi was able to create a general unity on Scadrial under reign of Khlennium.{{epigraph ref|mb1|10}}
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{{epigraph ref|mb2|9}} and give up its power in the name of the greater good.{{epigraph ref|mb2|50}} However, Kwaan realised that some being deceived them all by altering the prophecies, but he couldn't convince Alendi and the other Worldbringers{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} that the power at the Well should not be released.{{epigraph ref|mb2|59}} 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.{{epigraph ref|mb2|52}}
Once arrived in Terris Alendi replaced his normal attendants by Terris packmen who could carry his gear in the cold unforgiving mountains,{{epigraph ref|mb1|4}} they were a group of [[Feruchemy|Ferochemists]] led by Rashek.{{epigraph ref|mb1|7}} Alendi started keeping a [[Alendi's logbook|logbook]],{{book ref|mb2|42}} in which he also described hearing pulses coming from the Well{{epigraph ref|mb1|23}} due to his abilities as a [[Seeker]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|62}} {{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,{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} and if necessary even kill Alendi to prevent him from giving up the Well's power.{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} Since the pulses coming from the Well drew Alendi closer with each beat,{{epigraph ref|mb1|23}} Rashek could not lead him astray and was forced to kill the King of Khlennium shortly before arriving at their destination.
