Diferencia entre revisiones de «Ashyn»

Like the rest of the [[Rosharan System]], Ashyn was designed by [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|9283}}{{wob ref|12702}} It was eventually settled by humans. Originally their civilizations had access to powerful magic that was forbidden on [[Roshar]]; this magic was named the [[surges]].{{book ref|sa3|115}}{{wob ref|9464}}{{wob ref|14434}} Despite its name, however, this may have been a magic system only similar to the surges used on Roshar.{{wob ref|14921}}

The use of Surgebinding on Ashyn was not controlled, and this ultimately lead to a calamity and to the destruction of most of the planet.{{wob ref|9464}}{{wob ref|14434}}{{book ref|sa3|115}}{{book ref|au|Roshar}} The civilizations native to Ashyn attempted to flee, with many managing to migrate to Roshar as refugees, where they were accepted by the local populace.{{book ref|sa3|115}}{{book ref|sa3|116}} It is unclear how the refugees of Ashyn fled, although it is possible that they made their way through [[Shadesmar]] with the use of the Elsecalling, an ancient [[perpendicularity]], or other forms of [[worldhopping]], but this has not been confirmed. [[Odium]] arrived on Roshar along with them.{{book ref|sa3|117}} The memory of Ashyn would have a large effect on Rosharan mythology.{{wob ref|10549}} It is remembered as the Tranquiline Halls.{{wob ref|8496}}

Despite the devastation, some patches of Ashyn remained hospitable. The magic on Ashyn changed after the destruction to become illness -based.{{wob ref|3086}}{{wob ref|11585}}{{wob ref|11304}} This worked off a symbiotic relationship between [[investiture]] and bacteria/viruses;{{wob ref|14143}} by allowing oneself to get infected, one gains magical effects. Among the surviving areas of Ashyn are the famous floating cities which are held afloat due to a special disease.{{book ref|au|Roshar}}{{wob ref|12271}} Some on Ashyn remain aware of Roshar's existence.{{wob ref|11741}}

The symbiotic relationrelationship between the bacteria and their hosts is similar to that of the [[Aviar]]s and the worms that grant them powers from [[First of the Sun]], albeit here the humans interact with the magic-granting microorganisms directly rather than through intermediaries.

In the story, Ashynites do not have [[fabrial]]s, but appear to have discovered gunpowder, as some are mentioned carrying flintlock pistols. Abilities granted by diseases include prophecy and changing the color of objects, and are accompanied by sometimes-dangerous side effects, such as physical weakness, hallucinations, and deadly fevers. Occasionally, there are some symptoms left behind after the disease is over, called Echoes, which take some time to fade, or don't disappear at all. People who carry the diseases are called '''Incubators'''.{{wob ref|12303}}
