Some destruction was "set upon her home", causing the demise of her home, "creations", and family. She fled to the "clouds of ash above". These events may be depicted in several murals found across the Proto-Vaal ruins, which can be found here.

Abyss Scarab

As described in the Rusted though s, Ahkeli came to meet surviving members of the Maraketh in the Vastiri Plains. They agree to an alliance, uniting against an invasion/attack by the Lightless, whose appearance is presumably correlated with the catastrophic events that led to the death of her family.

As a way to fight back against the Lightless, Ahkeli pioneered the art of creating golems, whom she created wielding the Clayshaper. According to , Akheli "bid" the Maraketh to seek "relics of power", which somewhow aided them in the battle against the Lightless.

At the end of an Abyss encounter, Kalandra states: "Often, it is our own creations that destroy us in the end." It is unknown exactly what she means. It is known that Ahkeli eventually died, as it stated on the before the conclusion of some conflict (they wouldn't have to explain the "Winter of the World" if Ahkeli had witnessed it)

To create her golems, Ahkeli seems to be tapping into some Primordial force, connected with the rocks and the land, (consider the connection with the rocks the Proto-Vaal had been ordering to be quarried) judging by the Primordial modifier found on many golem-related unique items.
