Difference between revisions of "Sixth of the Dusk"

; [[Sixth of the Dusk (character)|Sixth of the Dusk]]: A [[trapper]] working on the island of [[Patji (island)|Patji]]. He knows much about [[Aviar]], is very practical, and mistrusts people from the mainland. He both loves and hates Patji.

; [[Kokerlii]]: An [[Aviar]] - a cognitively-gifted bird who can shield Sixth's cognitive markers so other animals that track cognitive signals cannot find him.

; [[Sak]]: An [[Aviar]] - a cognitively-gifted bird who can warn Sixth of the Dusk of danger by showing him visions of his own corpse in locations where it might be if he makes a mistake, so that he can avoid those places. Sak is not a member of a species native to Patji or any island of the Pantheon. Sak was instead brought from the mainland to the place on Patji where Aviar go to get their talent, or cognitive ability.

This book takes place in the [[Cosmere]], on a planet known as [[First of the Sun]]. Most of the story takes place on and around Patji, the largest island in an archipelago called The [[Pantheon]]. Patji is considered the father of the islands of the Pantheon, being the largest and the one that all [[Aviar]] must go to to get their talent. It is treacherous, with creatures such as Meekers, which are mice that can be trained to harm others, trees that kill anybody who comes near so that their soil is made rich from the blood, and nightmaws, which are terrifying birdlike creatures which hunt by finding somebody's cognitive signals.
