'''Aimia'''
== Geography ==
Aimia is an island chain that consists of one large island and
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}}
== Animals ==▼
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 [[Gemheart]]s{{book ref|twok|36}}, and [[larkin]], known for directly ingesting [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa3|i|13}}▼
== Aimian Races ==

==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}}
