Enough time has passed since the Scouring that myths and stories about the Aimian islands and their people have spread.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} Akinah has many nicknames including "The Rock of Secrets" and "The Void's Playground", and Rosharans speculate about what it contains.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} Some individual Aimians survive, and at least some are still on the islands.{{wob ref|8743}} Other cultures on Roshar are aware that Aimians still exist, but generally have negative reactions to them if discovered.{{book ref|sa2|i|3}}
 
The ship ''[[First Dreams]]'' manages to approach Akinah, but the crew is poisoned by one of the Sleepless, who is actively preventing humans from reaching the island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} The Sleepless says that she is protecting a secret that could lead to the "end of worlds".{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} It is not clear if other Aimians are also protecting the island. Kaza makes it to shore and sees a larkin and the [[crem]]-encrusted ruins of the once-ornate city before dying.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
 
At least part of the reason the island is protected is due to one of the [[Dawnshard]]s having been present at some point.{{wob ref|13040}}
