'''Aimia''' was one of the [[Silver Kingdoms]] of [[Roshar]] that survived the [[Desolation]]s. As far as can be gleaned, Aimia existed for most of the [[Era of Solitude]]. It was an island kingdom separated from the main continent by the [[Aimian Sea]]. According to [[Axies]], the [[Scouring of Aimia]] happened not long ago, and the remaining [[Aimian]]s are now rare. It has been long enough for myths and stories about the Aimians to have spread.{{book ref|twok|i|5}}

Aimia is a group of islands on Roshar that is separated from the main continent by the Aimian Sea.[1] The islands contained one of the Silver Kingdoms of Roshar that survived the Desolations.[2] As far as can be gleaned, the Kingdom of Aimia existed for most of the Era of Solitude, but at some point it was decimated in the Scouring of Aimia.[3][4]

Geography

Aimia is an island chain that consists of one large island and numerous smaller islands situated off the west coast of Shinovar. It is bordered on the east by the Aimian Sea and on the west by the Endless Ocean.[1] At least some of the islands had undersea caverns.[5] Aimia is subject to highstorms.[6]

One of the smaller islands at the north end of the chain is called Akinah.[7]

After the Scouring of Aimia, the islands became dangerous to approach, with sailors talking of strange winds and storms that seek out ships. Akinah is now surrounded by a wall of large Soulcast stone spikes.[7]


Aimian Races

There are two races of Aimians: Dysian Aimians (or Sleepless)[8] and Siah Aimians.[9] They are non-human[10] sentient beings. Although they are not related,[11] they each possess numerous unusual traits including a form of immortality[12][13] and the ability to magically modify their bodies.[14][13] Members of both races are now rare,[9] but some individuals survive, and at least some native Aimians are still on the islands.[15]

Humans are able to mate with Siah Aimians[16] but not Dysian Aimians.[17]

Fauna

Many of the animals that are native to Aimia are different from other animals on Roshar. Unlike Shin animals, Aimian animals fit into the ecosystem of Roshar but have exceptional features that make them distinct, including lanceryn, known for their large Gemhearts[3], and larkin, known for directly ingesting Stormlight.[18] Aimian animals are now exceptionally rare and modern Rosharans incorrectly believe that both the lanceryn and larkin went extinct during the Scouring of Aimia.[3][19]

At least one ancient text alludes to delicacies that come from Aimia,[20] possibly from endemic plants or animals.

History

Aimia was one of the Silver Kingdoms during the Heraldic Epoch. It contained an Oathgate connecting it to Urithiru, although it is presumed to have been destroyed.[4][21] Akinah was the capital of the kingdom, and it was once a grand city built on a natural rock formation with tenfold symmetry.[22] It was also known as the location to obtain soulcasters.[7]

At some point, the Scouring of Aimia occurred. The timeframe is not clear - Axies the Collector believes it to be fairly recent, but his immortality may skew his perception of time.[9] Hessi theorized that an Unmade, possibly Dai-Gonarthis, caused the destruction of Aimia.[23] Enough time has passed since the Scouring that myths and stories about the Aimian islands and their people have spread.[9] Other cultures on Roshar are aware that Aimians still exist, but generally have negative reactions to them if discovered.[19]

The ship First Dreams manages to approach Akinah, but it is sabotaged by one of the Sleepless.[7]
