theuntaintedchild he/him Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I seem to remember reading a WoB which stated that somewhere on Roshar there was a group of Kandra wandering around. Well I think I found a connection that should be considered when thinking about this...The Aimians. We know from Axies the Collector that Aimians are able to compose information onto their skin. (Like temporary tattoos!) We also have reference to Axies changing the functions of his internal organs. Aimian skin is also blue to the point that it's nearly transparent. This sounds very Kandra-like to me. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Has it been pointed out before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 As far as I know, there is no such WoB. We know there are kandra worldhoppers, but that's about it. To quote Bill Nye (who himself quotes someone else), "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," - though a link to the WoB should suffice here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 What if the Aimians are half kandra? I'm not sure if I believe this, but it would be cool. Also, Aimians seem to be immortal unless killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightness Enna she/her Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Found something HERE. If you don't care to click on it, it pretty much says, yes, there are kandra on Roshar but no, Axies is not one of them. In fact, Aimians are a different race entirely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) What if the Aimians are half kandra? I'm not sure if I believe this, but it would be cool. Also, Aimians seem to be immortal unless killed I don't think the timeline nor the general Aimian properties checks out.Also, did you just make the claim that people die when they are killed?

DrakeMarshall he/him Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Pretty sure he was saying they don't age. Anyway, yes, they do seem similar. I noted that too. I would be quite surprised if they were the same thing for a few reasons. But maybe their similarities aren't a total coincidence...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bard he/him Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Well, Scadrial humans were based off the Yolen humans. One assumes Roshar ones were also either based off the Roshar ones or else descendants of people from Yolen (which does a lot to explain the Tranquiline Halls mythos) What if the mistwraiths are also based off a Yolen race. Probably not dragons, because that's not what dragons look like, so maybe this third race the 'Shodel'. In which case, the Aimians could also be based off/are descendants of the Yolish Shodel.

Vibronicgoose Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I find it hard to believe that TLR would have knowledge of a race from Yolen. When Sazed became Harmony it didn't make him instantly Cosmere aware, and TLR only held the power for a short time. It is interesting to think of where he had the idea to turn the Feruchemists into such odd creatures. We might already have info on this, or the mistwriathes might have a similar 'cousin' race on Scadrial that i haven't read about?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari he/him Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Yes, but TLR didn't make humans or mistwraiths. The Shards did. TLR turned the Terrispeople into mistwraiths while he held the fraction of Preservation's power at the Well. Preservation and Ruin didn't have anything to do with it. edit: looking back at this post I should clarify that he only turned feruchemists into mistwraiths, not all terrispeople. Hurr durr.

I remember reading it and getting excited that they were on Roshar. I guess my excitement overshadowed the rest of the comment. Consider me educated.
