The people of the planet with primal aethers hold it as a sacred tenet that the aethers predate Adonalsium and are independent of its creations.{{book ref|mb7|42}} The Aethersaethers themselves believe thatcollectively they are co-the equals toof Adonalsium.{{wob ref|15989}}
 
Aethers are revered by these people. They believe that aethers made all people, creating them to each think differently from one another.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|1}} They also believe humans were gifted with rebirth by the aethers to encourage, bless, and uplift their fellow people.{{book ref|mb7|51}} Those that follow the aethers also hold that people return to the aethers upon their deaths to reflect upon their choices in life.{{book ref|mb7|47}} It is believed that people who have made poor choices are cursed to wait a long time until their next rebirth.{{book ref|mb7|51}} They often swear with phrases such as "by the first aether".{{book ref|mb7|39}}
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. Little is known of these primal aethers aside from [[Silajana]], the roseite primal aether.{{book ref|mb7|42}}
 
[[Suna]] and [[Vishwadhar]] are implied tomay be two other primal aethers, thoughthey the exact veracityare ofreferenced thisalong iswith notSilajana currentlyby knownTwinSoul.{{book ref|mb7|51}}
 
They are known to be very ancient and very powerful, not comparable to [[Shards]], but still beyond the strength of most non-shard entities in the cosmere.{{wob ref|15226}} Though they personally believe themselves co-to be equals in strength to Adonalisum itself.{{wob ref|15989}}

==History==
Aethers have been present in the cosmere since at least prior to the Shattering of Adonalsium, and claimmay to 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}}
