}}

'''Rashek''' was a [[Feruchemical]] [[Terrisman]] from [[Scadrial]].

 

He led [[Alendi]] to the [[Well of Ascension]] and killed him, under instructions from his uncle, [[Kwaan]]. He then took and used the power of [[Preservation]], ascending to become the '''Lord Ruler'''.

 

As he was using the power of the Well, he changed many aspects of life on Scadrial.

* He moved the planet closer to its star in order to burn the mist away.

* He gained knowledge of all three Metallic Arts on Scadrial, allowing him to develop the three hemalurgic constructs that existed in the Final Empire.
