The primal aethers are a group of twelve sapient aethers that exist on an unknown world in the cosmere.{{book ref|mb7|51}} They are revered on that planet and grant mortal servants a bud of their core, making them into aetherbound, the servants of the primal aethers.

'''[[Silajana]]''' is the roseite primal aether, bonded to [[Prasanva]] among others.{{book ref|mb7|42}} Little is known of Silajana, although he was supportive of the [[Ghostbloods]] and their work done on Scadrial countering Trell.{{book ref|mb7|40}} He has sent Prasanva into exile, away from his homeworld, and would not allow him to return and risk another extermination.{{book ref|mb7|42}} Prasanva's mission on to Scadrial was to gather allies and resources.{{book ref|mb7|47}}▼

Aetherbound are the Invested servants of the primal aethers
An aetherbound can grow and manipulate that same type of aether from their bodies.{{book ref|mb7|39}} They are capable of controlling the size, shape, and behavior of the aethers they produce, within certain constraints.{{book ref|mb7|39}} This process requires water drawn from the aetherbound's body to facilitate the growth of the aether.{{book ref|mb7|42}} The larger the mass, the more water will be required.{{book ref|mb7|51}} The manipulation of aethers by the aetherbound is mostly constrained by the size of the aether and their ability to visualize clearly what they want to produce. It takes skill and talent to produce complex mechanisms, such as producing a functional gun out of roseite.{{book ref|mb7|42}}
Little is known about the abilities of non-roseite aetherbound. There are twelve types of primal aether, and presumably twelve corresponding varieties of aetherbound.{{book ref|mb7|51}} One must be an aetherbound can produce new aether, so physical pieces of aether are not particularly useful to anyone else.{{wob ref|9288}} Even cosmere scholars such as those in [[Silverlight]] do not yet understand how to control them.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}

==History==
Aethers have been present in the cosmere since at least prior to the Shattering of Adonalsium, and may predate Adonalsium altogether.{{book ref|mb7|42}} While they were initially native to a single world, different variants of the aethers have since spread to other planets,{{wob ref|15429}} and now claim to have no specific planet of origin.{{wob ref|15136}} At some point a conflict with the dark aether began on the planet of the primal aethers,{{book ref|mb7|47}} which was too difficult to be defeated by Prasanva and may have led to his exile.{{book ref|mb7|42}}
At some point Mraize may have visited a world containing aethers, as he has a piece of roseite in his collection.{{wob ref|12395}}{{book ref|sa2|43}} As Mraize is a [[worldhopper]],{{wob ref|1394}} the provenance of the roseite aether in his collection is unknown, but he is not able to make use of that piece of aether.{{wob ref|9288}} Later his laundress [[Mem]] was tasked with removing an aether stain on Mraize's [[Azish]] cavalrylord's suit. She thought it might be a combination of oil and blood and had a great deal of difficulty removing the stain, but eventually cleaned it off without damaging the suit's delicate [[Mycalin]] dye. Mraize was surprised by her success and gave her a bonus.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}
[[Foil]] is trying to achieve control over the aethers. [[Khriss]] thinks that the discovery of [[anti-Investiture]] may disprove some of his theories about them.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}
In the later stages of the cosmere, the aethers are also

==Trivia==
* Aethers originated in the unpublished novel ''[[Aether of Night]]''. Elements of the novel have already been repurposed into other works,{{wob ref|8206}} and it would be completely rewritten before the world is introduced to the cosmere.{{sots ref|2017
* The planet where aethers originate is not central to the overall cosmere arc.{{wob ref|14520}} Brandon has not decided how many aether novels he will write or where to fit them into the cosmere release timeline. He has considered doing a trilogy towards the end of the cosmere sequence

He has considered doing a trilogy towards the end of the cosmere sequence,{{sots ref|2019}} but he may need to introduce the magic system sooner in a novel or novella since it is relevant to other planets.{{wob ref|14457}} Aethers claim to not be native to any one world.{{wob ref|15136}}
