'''''First Dreams''''' is a ship on [[Roshar]] that sails to the island of [[Akinah]] in [[Aimia]].{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}

==History==
===Voyage to Akinah===
After the [[scouring of Aimia]], few people tried to approach Akinah due to exceptionally dangerous conditions in the area; the [[Sleepless]] also warned mankind against any attempts to travel there.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} However, Vazrmeb and Droz were determined to become rich by retrieving gemhearts that they believed to be on the island. Vazrmeb somehow knew a few things about the perils of approaching Akinah, since he was aware that a Soulcaster would be needed to breach a wall of stone spikes that encircled the island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
 
The ship departed from [[Liafor]] on the mainland and sailed north along the coast of [[Shinovar]].{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} It then crossed the [[Aimian Sea]], passing through an intense, unusual storm. Upon approaching Akinah, the crew boarded the ship's dinghies and Kaza was able to Soulcast holes in the spikes surrounding the island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} The crew suddenly started to drop dead, but Kaza managed to reach the shore. She saw a [[larkin]] and the remains of a [[lanceryn]], including its gemheart. The cook revealed that she was Sleepless and that she had poisoned the crew in order to protect a secret on the island. Kaza Soulcasted herself into smoke before succumbing to the poison.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} The ship was sabotaged and left to sink by one of the Sleepless obedient to [[Yelamaiszin]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}

The ship's sails were in tatters and it was listing to port. [[Yalb]] and some other sailors from Smta's crew inspected the ship and found no crew or ship's log.

Queen [[Navani Kholin]] learned of the ship's recovery and took a keen interest in learning more about Akinah, as she was aware there had been an [[Oathgate]] in Aimia.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} She sent out a request for another ship to sail to Akinah to find out more about the island, the strange storm surrounding it, and the fate of the ''First Dreams''.{{book ref|sa3.5|1}}{{book ref|sa3.5|2}} Despite a reward being offered, weeks passed with no takers. About two months after the ''First Dreams'' was recovered, Rysn decided to tour the ship to help her determine whether to take Navani's offer, and did not find anything odd - there was no blood on the decks, and no sign of the Soulcaster that was thought to be on board.{{book ref|sa3.5|2}} She ultimately chose to lead the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' on an [[expedition to Akinah]].{{book ref|sa3.5|2}}
