“I wonder if they eat in the Cognitive Realm. Is a food there what it sees itself as being? I’ll have to read and see if anyone has ever eaten while visiting Shadesmar.”
—Geranid on cooking[1]
Ashir es un químico y fervoroso que vive con Geranid en una pequeña isla reshi en Roshar.[1]
Apariencia y personalidad
Ashir es un hombre mayor y corpulento, con la cabeza afeitada y una barba gris que mantiene perfectamente cuadrada.[1] Habla con una voz suave y amable y disfruta de conversar, incluso cuando Geranid está intentando pensar.
Ashir es un hombre amable, con un comportamiento calmado.[1] Su llamada es cocinar, pero su interés está en la química, la cual practica cocinando porque le permite comerse los resultados. En lugar de intentar crear platos deliciosos, Ashir disfruta de cocinar paltos altamente experimentales. Prueba nuevos paltos y métodos de cocina que comparte con su compañera Geranid. Ashir al final está menos interesado en cómo sabe un plato que en cómo de interesante encuentra los resultados. Aunque su química está en la forma de cocinar, registra los resultados de sus comidas de todas formas. Ashir cocina muchos de sus platos en un hotplate potenciado por un fabrial.
Despite his love of cooking, Ashir wonders if he should change Callings.[1] He has less of a passion for cooking than he once did, and does not see how his cooking will one day serve the Heralds in their fight to reclaim the Tranquiline Halls. Ashir does not believe that they will need to eat food, and has little interest in only being able to cook ideal dishes once he dies and passes to the Spiritual Realm. He has something of a sweet tooth, and enjoys food that is traditionally reserved for women. Ashir is far more practiced in scientific theory than he is in mathematics, but Geranid is the opposite. Ashir is also something of a philosopher, posing theoretical questions that cannot readily be proved or disproved.
Ashir and Geranid have come to love one another over their years spent together.[1] Despite their love, they remain simple companions because they have dedicated the majority of their lives to serving the Almighty and do not wish to make a mistake at the very end.
History
Nothing of Ashir's early life is known, but at some point he joined the ardentia.[1] After some length of time as an ardent, he and his close companion were assigned to live on a small island in the Reshi Sea. Ostensibly this was to serve the needs of any Vorin peoples in the area, but in truth Ashir and Geranid wished to have some peace and seclusion in which to continue with their studies. During their many years there, they still served the needs of any people in the area who practiced Vorinism, but their studies are their priority. At some point during their lives, Ashir and Geranid fell in love with one another.
When Geranid discovered that a flamespren's size becomes fixed when it is measured, Ashir helped her to work through the implications of her discovery.[1] He helped her realize that the size must actually be measured, not estimated, guessed, or arbitrarily chosen, and it needs to be recorded in order to constrain the spren's size. He had no idea what it meant, but he was certain that Geranid had discovered something important that may revolutionize the world's understanding of fabrials and spren.
