== History ==
Aviar is presumably an [[Eelakin]] term, and throughout First of the Sun's history they were found only in the Pantheon. The magical abilities and the various species of birds had been well documented by the people of First of the Sun, and centuries passed without the discovery of a new type of Aviar. The people who were most familiar with Aviar were the trappers, who underwent extensive training in order to survive on the islands and had no qualms about killing each other when they got there. They were strongly bound by tradition, and had a reverence for the islands, particularly Patji. Trappers were notoriously reticent and stubborn, and detailed information about the Aviar and their powers remained their secret.{{book ref|sixth}} Aviars feature in folkloric stories, such as that of [[Linji]], who attempted to sail around the world without one.{{book ref|tress|24}}
At some point, several Aviar were taken to other planets. During the [[True Desolation]] on [[Roshar]], Aviar were seen in the possession of [[Mraize]] and [[Gereh]], both [[Worldhoppers]] that were not from First of the Sun.{{wob ref|14529}}{{wob ref|8807}} It is not clear how the Aviar were taken off-world, as this was very difficult at the time.{{wob ref|10298}} Gereh's Aviar was later cared for by [[Lift]].{{book ref|sa4|116}} Like other birds, Aviar are referred to as "chickens" by most Rosharans.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}
