== Appearance ==
Akinah is located on a small island in the northern section of Aimia, somewhat near the large main island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} 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 [[Akinahspecific Dawnshard mural|Dawnshard mural]] found in Akinah; and the concept of change.{{wob ref|8614}} From above, the city looks like a flower with radiating petals.{{book ref |dawnshard |15}}
 
The island features dark, tall rock formations along its center that look almost like the walls of a city{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} and uniform buildings in the “tips” of the flower petals as seen from above.{{book ref |dawnshard |15}} The ruins - which [[Rushu]] believes are fake{{book ref |dawnshard |15}} - 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.{{book ref |dawnshard |15}}
 
=== Caverns ===
The Oathgate and the [[Akinah Dawnshard mural|Dawnshard mural]] were discovered in Akinah’s separate underground caverns.{{coppermind ref |url=https://coppermind.net/wiki/Summary:Dawnshard}}
 
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.{{book ref |dawnshard |15}}
