Those who did not support his rule were turned into the downtrodden peasant race, known as "skaa", who have since worked the fields in virtual slavery for their masters. He granted those who supported him in his quest titles and lands of great power and influence, and a magical power known as Allomancy. The Hero, having unlocked the secret to immortality, installed himself as the Lord Ruler of the world and became their deity. But humanity survived, even prospered, and years passed. The nature and character of the threat has been lost to the mists of time, but the Hero was evidently successful in his quest, as the Deepness was destroyed and the Hero returned in triumph, but not without great cost - the sun became red, Ashmounts filled the sky with ashes that forevermore fell to the earth, plants withered and turned brown, and mysterious mists (whispered by the superstitious to be sentient and malevolent) enwreathed the lands by night. Long ago, a conqueror and philosopher was acclaimed as the Hero of Ages and sent to vanquish an ancient evil known only as the Deepness. You can also read about the Sequel Series, Wax and Wayne.
