They were created by [[Rashek]] during his initial contact with the [[Well of Ascension]] to counteract his moving the planet too close to the sun, by blocking some of the sunlight so that it doesn't get too hot.[[Rashek]] also made microbes to eat the ash to stop it from piling up. They are the source of [[Ash]]fall whose purpose was to fill the air with massive clouds of ash to keep the planet from overheating.
The '''Ashmounts''' are enormous volcanoes in the [[Final Empire]], and north of [[Elendel Basin]] in Post-Catacendric Scadrial, in the area that was once the Final Empire.{{map ref|Final Empire 1021|the Final Empire}}{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}

== History ==
 
== Ashmounts in the Final Empire ==▼
They were created by [[Rashek]] during his initial contact with the [[Well of Ascension]] to counteract his moving the planet too close to the sun. They are the source of the ashfalls which protect the planet from overheating by filling the air with massive clouds of ash. [[Aluminum]] found on Scadrial came from the Ashmounts' craters. When Rashek created the Ashmounts, he did not necessarily place them near larger mountain ranges, and they often rise out of otherwise flat ground.
There were seven ashmounts in the Final Empire:
 
*Tyrian, in the Central Dominance, innear the middle of [[Lake Tyrian]] just west of [[Luthadel]]▼
While [[Ruin]] was free, he caused the Ashmounts to emit massively larger amounts of ash than previous times as part of his plan to destroy the world.{{msh ref|6|4}}
*Zerinah, in the Southern Dominance, southwest of Luthadel. It appears to have been flattened.{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}▼
 
*Doriel, in the Southern Dominance, almost due south of Luthadel
When [[Vin]] [[Ascension|Ascended]], she tried plugging the ashmounts, but immediately realized that the land would be too hot without the protection of the ash and was forced to rotate the planet to compensate.{{book ref|mb3|76}} Her plugs did not hold and lava began flowing anyway.{{book ref|mb3|81}}
*Faleast, in the Eastern Dominance, south-southeast of Luthadel. It appears to currently make up the [[Faleast Range]].{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}▼
 
▲During [[Sazed]]'s Ascension, he restored Scadrial to its original orbit using the knowledge of the [[Nelazan]], eliminating the need for the Ashmounts.{{book ref|mb3|82}}
 
=== Post-Catacendre ===
After the Catacendre, the Ashmounts are stilled, although some appear to be gone.{{book ref|mb7|13}}{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}} Their former locations in the Final Empire are no longer populated, but are still referred to on maps using the names of the Ashmounts. Tyrian, Morag, Torinost, Kalling, and Faleast still seem to be extant in some form, while Zerinah and Doriel are not visible on available maps. A city in the Basin near the Ashmount's previous location is named [[Doriel (city)|Doriel]], and the area east of the [[Southern Roughs]] is known as "Lost Doriel".{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}} At one point, [[Wax]] and [[Marasi]] were concerned that the [[Set]] might be trying to restart the Ashmounts.{{book ref|mb7|43}}

▲== Ashmounts ==
There were seven Ashmounts in the Final Empire; however, several appear to have been flattened during the [[Catacendre]], reducing the number down to five.{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}

▲*Zerinah, in the Southern Dominance, southwest of Luthadel. It appears to have been flattened.{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}
*Doriel, in the Southern Dominance, near the [[Southern Sea]] south-southwest of Luthadel. It appears to have been flattened to create the Elendel Basin.{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}
▲*Faleast, in the Eastern Dominance, south-southeast of Luthadel. It appears to currently make up the [[Faleast Range]].{{map ref|scadrial|Scadrial}}
*Morag, in the Western Dominance, west-northwest of Luthadel
*Torinost, in the Western Dominance, north-northwest of Luthadel
*Kalling, in the Northern Dominance, northeast of Luthadel
