== Aimian RacesCulture ==

ThereIn addition to the human Aimians, there are two distinct races of Aimians: '''Dysian Aimians''' (or '''Sleepless'''){{book ref|sa1|54}} and '''Siah Aimians'''.{{book ref|sa1|i|5}} They are both non-human{{wob ref|1250}} sentient beings. Although they are not related,{{wob ref|5479}} they each possess numerous unusual traits including a form of immortality{{wob ref|1784}}{{book ref|edgedancer|18}} and the ability to magically modify their bodies.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}{{book ref|edgedancer|18}} Humans are able to mate with Siah Aimians{{wob ref|457}} but not Dysian Aimians.{{wob ref|10842}} Although the Aimians have no shared ancestry with humans or singers, they were created by the same person, presumably [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|9235}}{{wob ref|3711}} This implies that, like humans and singers, they existed before the [[Shattering]]. However, it is unknown whether or not theyeither are native to Roshar.{{wob ref|10464}}

== History ==

=== Silver Kingdom ===

=== Scouring of Aimia ===

At some point, a scouring occurred at Aimia, however, what exactly occurred, and why, is unknown. The timeframe is also unclear - Axies the Collector believes it to be fairly recent, but his immortality may skew his perception of time.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} The Scouring is known to have decimated life on the islands. Native animals nearly went extinct,{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} and members of both native races are now rare.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} The Oathgate in Akinah was either destroyed or fell into disuse, isolating the islands.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|107}}

The Aimian Sea near the islands became very dangerous, with strange winds and storms that seem to originate in the islands.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} In particular, one constant storm surrounds the island of Akinah. Akinah is now surrounded by a wall of [[Soulcast]] stone spikes that are forty feet tall, with additional spikes underwater to deter ships.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} [[Kaza]] believes that the spikes must have been created by multiple Soulcasters working together.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}

=== Modern Day ===

Enough time has passed since the Scouringscouring that myths and stories about the Aimian islands and their people have spread.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} Akinah has many nicknames including "The Rock of Secrets" and "The Void's Playground", and Rosharans speculate about what it contains.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} Some individual Aimians survive, and at least some are still on the islands.{{wob ref|8743}} Other cultures on Roshar are aware that Aimians still exist, but generally have negative reactions to them if discovered.{{book ref|sa2|i|3}}
