Axindweth is a member of Gavilar's retinue involved in his dealings with the forces of Odium. She meets with Venli and gives her a gemstone that contains Ulim.[1]
Before the War of Reckoning
During a trip to the Shattered Plains with the listeners, Gavilar brings a retinue of attendants. Axindweth, who is allegedly a surgeon's assistant, approaches Eshonai and asks her what she sees when she looks at the spren. Eshonai notes that she wears a great deal of rings on her right hand, which seems impractical. Later, when Eshonai pulls out her hunting knife to cut something, Axindweth asks if she can take a closer look at it. She beckons Gavilar over, then theorizes that Eshonai's knife must date back to the False Desolation.[2]
After Venli and Eshonai's family move into an abandoned city on the Shattered Plains, defeating the family of listeners that held it beforehand, Axindweth appears again with Gavilar's retinue. She finds Venli sitting outside the city, staring at the broken plateaus below. She converses with Venli in the listener tongue, much to Venli's surprise, and says that she's always been good at languages. Introducing herself as Axindweth, she asks if Venli would like to learn to obtain a form of power. Despite Venli's protests, she questions the listeners' faith in their ancestors. Finally, she entices Venli into her offer by suggesting there are forms of power that can heal someone. As Venli expresses shock, Axindweth withdraws a blood-red, glowing gemstone from her safehand sleeve. She instructs Venli to take the gem and break it in a storm to find the answers she seeks, she leaves.{{book ref|sa4|52]}
