He also tailored the prophecies to fit Alendi more perfectly, so ther would be no doubt in peoples' minds that he was the Hero.
Kwaan, the man who discovered Alendi noticed this alteration because of his prodigious memory.
He attempted to convince the Conclave of Worldbringers of his mistake, but they would not listen to him, much as they didn't listen to him when he first brought the possibility of Alendi being the Hero of Ages to their attention.
He turned on Alendi, and did his best to undermine Alendi's rule.
By this point Alendi was in control of most if not all of Scadrial.
===The Ascension of the Lord Ruler ===
However, Alendi had still failed to stop the Deepness, and there was only one
As the power returned to the Well Alendi could hear the pulses because he was a Seeker.
He hoped that giving up the power would stop the Deepness.
Kwaan knew that Alendi mustn't be allowed to reach the Well, for he knew that giving up the power was just what Ruin wanted.
Kwaan's only hope to stop Alendi was his nephew Rashek, a Feruchemist who hated Alendi, and the nation of Khlennium from which he hailed.
The reason for Rashek's hatred was because he believed that the Terrisman should be dominant because of their Feruchemical abilities.
Also, as just a poor herder, he was also jealous of the Khlenni sophistication and culture.
Kwaan commanded his nephew to become Alendi's pack man, and to attempt to mislead on his way to the Well.
If Rashek failed at that, Kwaan asked him to kill Alendi.
The last remnant of Leras's mind was also doing it's best to stop Alendi.
In the form of the mist spirit it followed Alendi, and knifed his companion Fedik when he became too interested in Ruin's Shardpool, the Black Lake, which the party encountered on their journey to the Well.
Ultimately Rashek failed to lead Alendi astray and killed him.
At that point Rashek himself took the power at the Well of Ascension and refused to give it up, denying Ruin his chance at freedom.
While holding the power Rashek's mind was expanded, but he wasn't accustomed to such great power, he had no practice.
Rashek attempted to destroy the Deepness by moving Scadrial closer to the star in Scadrial's system, to burn away the mists.
Unfortunately Scadrial's new location was too hot for life, so Rashek moved it further away from it's parent star, which left the planet too cold.
Rashek then moved it closer to the star again, but it was still too hot.
Rashek had no point of reference for where the planet should go, so he just decided to leave it too close to the star.
He began working retroactively to fix problems he had created himself, because the intent of Preservation, who's power made up the Well, was affecting him.
To counter the increased heat he made the Ashmounts, volcanoes who pumped gas and ferromagnetic ash into the air, to shadow the land near the north pole, which was one of the coolest places on Scadrial.
This gas made the atmosphere thicker too, which raised temperatures in the rest of the world, turning it even hotter, resulting in the a massive dessert called the Burnlands, which covered most of the planet.
Rashek realized that the ash from the Ashmounts would eventually bury the whole land.
He created plants and microbes that broke down the ash.
Rashek also realized that this ash would make it hard for humans to survive, and the new plants that could survive the ash would be difficult for them to live off of.
So he altered the physiology of humanity, changing them so that they were more capable of living in this new world.
He also created the Balance; he made the noblemen taller, stronger, and less fertile, and change everyone else, except the Terrismen, into the race that would be known as the skaa.
They were shorter, hardier, and had many children.
Rashek also was granted an understanding of the Metallic Arts.
Ruin whispered to Rashek the secrets of how to make koloss and Inquisitors, servants that Ruin hoped to control himself later.
Rashek realized that the Feruchemists of his homeland would be difficult to control, because of the knowledge of their copperminds, and that they wouldn't accept him as their leader, because he had murdered their Hero, Alendi.
So Rashek offered a bargain to his fellow pack men and his uncle Kwaan.
He would grant them immortality, in exchange for their Feruchemy and humanity.
Rashek's packmen accepted his proposal, but Kwaan refused saying it was a betrayal of who the Terris were as a people.
Using the power of Preservation Rashek changed his friends and every other living Feruchemist into a mistwraith, but he attempted to destroy Kwaan, which he couldn't do with the power of Preservation, so Kwaan remained the same.
Using the secrets of Hemalurgy, Rashek returned his companions to sentience, using spikes to change them from mistwraiths into kandra.
After this, the last of Rashek's power faded, and he returned to his regular state of existence, although he was now a Sliver of Preservation.
Rashek was then granted the powers of a [[Mistborn]], although it is unknown if this was a side affect of holding the Well's power or if he burned a piece of Lerasium.
Rashek began calling himself the Lord Ruler, and began his quest to reconquer what was left of Scadrial.
