▲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.
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}}
=== 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}} Though further evidence disproved this theory.
