Axindweth [Discuss]

[unrudh]

Hey, wasn't there a character called Tathindweth or something like that in the Wax & Wayne series? I can't find the reference now.

For a second there I thought that was Wax's sister's name (instead of Telsin) and thought Axindweth might be Wax's mother and had a moment. Alas, it clearly isn't that. But still, I think there's a connection to be found, if fellow 17th shard-ians can help.

I have been seeing a lot of connections with her being a Terris due to her rings possibly being copperminds and how her name is similar to other terris names. It would be interesting if Sazed or now Harmony may have attempted to speed up what happens on Roshar and used Axindweth in his place. If someone can find a similar name to that from the mistborn series that would be interesting too

Tathingdwel is a city that steris brings up at one point, while I can't remember any terris names extremely similar to axindweth some of them have similar phonemes (tindwyl, tathingdwen).

I'm pretty convinced axindweth is a terriswoman but I'd be surprised if she was sent by sazed, tricking a nation that sacrificed everything for their freedom into stepping back into chains does not seem like harmony's style.

Oh... you're right! I think I had Tathingdwel on the brain. Besides, I thought there wasn't an Axindweth thread, and then as soon as I posted this one, I noticed the long thread in the RoW General Thoughts forum.

I was so intrigued by a random Terriswoman showing up to give Venli weird gems with voidspren inside. Whaaaat?

 

I also disagree that she was there on the bidding of Sazed/Harmony. I think if anything Axindweth was a Ghostblood or otherwise there for her own (or at least not Harmony's) purposes.

Or maybe she's part of the Set. The organization existed before W&W and Stormlight takes place at most a decade before W&W. Suit was only a middle manager, we don't know how Cosmere aware the higher ups are. And if Trell really is Autonomy, it wouldn't be surprising for her to send an agent to help free Odium

Why? Why would Autonomy meddle in this wiith the risk of setting an entity free that has killed four Shards so far? Is Autonomy suicidal?

This. I assumed she was a Faceless one sent by Autonomy. We know Bavarian & Rayse had worked together in some form that Hoid points out. Makes sense to me that she’d try help free Rayse.

Because she's allied with Odium before to some extent. Also, Odium being bound infringes on Odium's autonomy which is something that Autonomy's Intent might take issue with.

The idea of an alliance and the Intent of Autonomy clash violently.

I don't think it does 

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

Ah man I really need to read White Sand.

[Neithan]

Could she be the same as Lemex’s nurse (the confirmed Terriswoman in WB)? Axindweth is described by Venli as being some sort of surgeon, so the connection seems logical.
