Akinah is located on a small island in the northern section of Aimia, somewhat near the large main island.{{ref|name=sa3i4}} The city seems to have once been grand, with ornate buildings arranged in a tenfold symmetry radiating out from a round central hub.{{File ref|Four_Cities.jpg|Kabsal's Cymatics notes}} This tenfold symmetry is related to the tenth name of the [[Almighty]], He Who Transforms; the [[Soulcasting]] fabrials and the specific Dawnshard found in Akinah; and the concept of change.{{wob ref|8614}} From above, the city looks like a flower with radiating petals.{{book ref|sa3.5|4|name=3.54}}
 
The island features dark, tall rock formations along its center that look almost like the walls of a city{{ref|name=sa3i4}} and uniform buildings in the “tips” of the flower petals as seen from above.{{book ref|sa3.5dawnshard|15|name=3.515dawnshard15}} The ruins - which [[Rushu]] believes are fake {{ref|name=sa3.515dawnshard15}} - are covered with [[crem]] and the rocky beach around the city is cluttered with the corpses of dead [[greatshell]]s and deceptive, but fake, gemhearts.{{ref|name=sa3.515dawnshard15}}
 
=== Caverns ===
The Oathgate and the [[Akinah Dawnshard mural|Dawnshard mural]] were discovered in Akinah’s separate underground caverns.{{ref|name=coppermind}}
 
Great pains had been taken to hide the functioning Oathgate. A chamber with a false, seemingly defunct Oathgate was built atop the true Oathgate. The real Oathgate was housed underneath in a room about twelve feet high and expansively wide.{{ref|name=sa3.515dawnshard15}}
 
Akinah’s other secrets were hidden beneath the island in a cavern accessible only via underwater tunnel. Inside the air-filled chambers, a corridor that had been carved out of the stone featuring murals (“strange murals. People with hands forward, falling through what appeared to be portals, emerging into...light?”) led to a small room with a large mural on the far side, a set of Shardplate, ornate weapons and clothing, and eight [[Soulcaster]] devices. A metal door on the left side of the room opened to a larger corridor with six huge [[larkin]] skulls.{{ref|name=sa3.515dawnshard15}} The large mural - which was not an ordinary mural - was formerly the Dawnshard. {{wob ref|14315}}
