== History ==
=== Arrival of the Dawnshard ===
At some unknown point in the distant past, a Dawnshard was taken or came to Aimia and was trapped in the [[Akinah Dawnshard mural]].{{cite}} This Dawnshard was protected by lancer.{{cite}}
=== Silver Kingdom ===
Aimia was one of the Silver Kingdoms during the
=== Scouring of Aimia ===
{{for|Scouring of Aimia}}
At some point, a scouring occurred at Aimia, however, what exactly occurred, and why, is unknown. While the exact time is uncertain, it occurred after the [[Recreance]]{{book ref|sa1|36}}{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} but longer than four hundred years before the [[Everstorm]]'s arrival.{{ref|text=Nikli was Seperated after the scouring{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} and is known to have sailed with [[Longbrow]] who has been dead at least four hundred years.{{book ref|sa3.5|17}}}} Axies the Collector recalls it being fairly recent,
The fabrials or other devices regulating Aimia's climate were destroyed, leaving the islands desolate and barren.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} The scouring decimated life on the islands. Native animals nearly went extinct,{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} and members of both of the immortal races are now rare.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} The surviving humans fled to other nations.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} The last few larkin were taken in by their cousins, the [[Na-Alind]].{{book ref|sa3.5|1}} The Oathgate in Akinah fell into disuse, isolating the islands.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|107}}
With the fall of the lancer and dispersal of the larkin, the Dawnshard was left unprotected. The Sleepless residing there decided to take up the role of its guardians because they did not want the power to fall into the wrong hands, as it was capable of destroying billions of people.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}
The Aimian Sea near the islands became very dangerous, with strange winds and storms that seem to originate in the islands.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} In particular, one constant storm surrounds the island of Akinah.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}{{book ref|sa3.5|2}} Akinah is now surrounded by a wall of [[Soulcast]] stone spikes that are forty feet tall, with additional spikes underwater to deter ships.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} [[Kaza]] believes that the spikes must have been created by multiple Soulcasters working together.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
Very recently, perhaps coinciding with the arrival of the Everstorm, the protective storm around Akinah has weakened somewhat.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} As a result of this, the ship ''[[First Dreams]]'' was able to approach Akinah, but the crew was poisoned by one of the Sleepless, who was actively preventing humans from reaching the island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} The Sleepless said that it was protecting a secret that could lead to the "end of worlds".{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} Kaza made it to shore and saw a larkin, or perhaps a hordeling with the appearance of a larkin, and the faked ruins of Akinah before dying.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
Recently, scouting parties have been sent to the main island and found it quite barren. The Royal Navy of Thaylenah has set up outposts there just in case.{{book ref|sa3.5|1}}{{book ref|sa3.5|2}}{{book ref|sa3.5|10}}
