Abiajan is a singer from Hearthstone. Before the beginning of the True Desolation, she was a parshwoman slave of Wistiow. She fled Hearthstone when the Everstorm arrived, but was later sent back by the Fused after they conquered Alethkar to serve as its citylady.[1]
Appearance and Personality
Abiajan has white skin with red marbling on her cheeks.[1] She wears a havah in the Alethi style, with a sleeve covering her safehand. Her clothing has more muted colors in order to feature her unique skin patterns.[1]
Abiajan is resentful toward humans for enslaving her people. When she recounts a memory of Lirin healing her many years ago, she suggests his actions were motivated by her monetary value as a slave.[1] She speaks and acts with Alethi mannerisms. Like other parshmen, however, she tries to imitate the singers of old, as described by the Fused, in an effort to reclaim the culture of her ancestors.[1] She also seems to have a sense of duty and leadership, as she was appointed the citylady of Hearthstone and has some influence over the people there.[1][2]
History
As a parshwoman, Abiajan was a slave to Brightlord Wistiow from a very young age, although she did not have this name back then. At some point during her childhood, her arm was injured, and Lirin set her arm and healed her.
When the Everstorm came and restored the parshmen from slaveform, Abiajan fled Hearthstone with the rest of the singers. Several months later, she returned at the orders of the Fused, who had given her the new name "Abiajan" and appointed her as the citylady. Many other singers from the surrounding area also came to the town with her, but only Abiajan was originally from Hearthstone itself. As Hearthstone took in refugees from Herdaz, she allowed Lirin to inspect each person for disease, as she seemed to be quite concerned that plaguespren from the west would make their way into the city.
