==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.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} 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}} It was also known as the location to obtain [[soulcaster]]s.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
 
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]] 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}} 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 it is sabotaged by one of the Sleepless.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
