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|sa3.5|15|name=sa33.515}} The ruins - which [[Rushu]] believes are fake{{ref|name=sa3.515}} - 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=sa3.515}}

Five months after Vazrmeb’s doomed expedition to the island, [[Yalb]], now crewing for a Thaylen military vessel, spotted a ghost ship limping along at sea. It turned out to be “First Dreams”,{{book ref |dawnshard |prologue}} which further piqued [[Navani]]’s interest in Akinah. Navani issued a request - and offered a reward - for another ship to travel investigate the region where Akina’s ruins were rumored to be found, a request accepted by Rysn some two months after the discovery of “First Dreams” in the hope that bringing [[Chiri-Chiri]] to Akinah would restore Chiri-Chiri’s health.{{book ref |dawnshard |1}}
 
With a full crew, the incognito Dysian Aimian [[Nikliasorman|Nikli]], [[Lopen]], [[Huio]], [[Cord]], and Chiri-Chiri, Rysn begins the “[[Wandersail(1174 ship)|Wandersail]]’s” expedition to Akinah.{{coppermind ref |urlname=https://coppermind.net/wiki/Summary:Dawnshard}}
