One of the smaller islands at the north end of the chain is called [[Akinah]].{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
 
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.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}

The relationship between the two races is not known, but they coexisted on the islands for thousands of years. The Sleepless [[Arclo]] refers to the Siah [[Axies the Collector]] in a familiar manner.{{book ref|edgedancer|18}}
Humans are able to mate with Siah Aimians{{wob ref|457}} but not Dysian Aimians.{{wob ref|10842}}
 
== Fauna ==
Many of the animals that are native to Aimia are differentdiffer 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 [[Gemheartgemheart]]s,{{book ref|twok|36}}, and [[larkin]], known for directly ingesting [[Investiture]] such as [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} Lanceryn and larkin are directly related in some way.{{wob ref|6497}} Aimian animals are now exceptionally rare and modern Rosharans incorrectly believe that both the lanceryn and larkin wentare extinct during the Scouring of Aimia.{{book ref|sa1|36}}{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} [[Rysn]] acquired [[Chiri-Chiri|a larkin]] in the [[Reshi Isles]], but its origin is unclear.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}}
 
At least one ancient text alludes to delicacies that come from Aimia,{{book ref|sa3|53}} possibly from endemic plants or animals.
 
==History==
===Silver Kingdom===
Aimia was one of the Silver Kingdoms during the [[Heraldic EpochEpochs]]. It contained an [[Oathgate]] connecting it to [[Urithiru]], although it is presumed to have been destroyed.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} As one of the ten kingdoms and a holder of an Oathgate, it likely held one of the ten thrones in Urithiru.{{book ref|sa1|45}} Akinah was the capital of the kingdom, and it was once a grand city built on a natural rock formation with tenfold symmetry.{{File ref|Four_Cities.jpg|Kabsal's Cymatics notes}}{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} It was also known as the location to obtain [[soulcasterSoulcaster]]s.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} Siah Aimians were integrated into larger Rosharan society to the point that they are partial ancestors of some ethnic groups on the main continent.{{wob ref|457}}
 
===Scouring of Aimia===
{{for|Scouring of Aimia}}
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.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} [[Hessi]]The theorizedScouring thatis anknown [[Unmade]],to possiblyhave [[Dai-Gonarthis]],decimated causedlife on the destructionislands. ofNative Aimia.animals nearly went extinct,{{epigraphbook ref|sa3sa2|113i|3}} Enough time has passed since the Scouring that myths and storiesmembers aboutof theboth Aimiannative islandsraces andare their people havenow spreadrare.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} OtherThe culturesOathgate onin RosharAkinah arewas either awaredestroyed thator Aimiansfell stillinto existdisuse, butisolating generallythe have negative reactions to them if discoveredislands.{{book ref|sa2sa3|i8}}{{book ref|3sa3|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}} 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}}
 
[[Hessi]] theorized that an [[Unmade]], possibly [[Dai-Gonarthis]], caused the destruction of Aimia.{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}}

Enough time has passed since the Scouring 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}}
 
The ship ''[[First Dreams]]'' manages to approach Akinah, but itthe crew is sabotagedpoisoned by one of the Sleepless, who is actively preventing humans from reaching the island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} The Sleepless says that she is protecting a secret that could lead to the "end of worlds".{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} It is not clear if other Aimians are also protecting the island. Kaza makes it to shore and sees a larkin and the [[crem]]-encrusted ruins of the once-ornate city before dying.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
