▲'''Axindweth''' is a member of King [[Gavilar Kholin]]'s retinue involved in his dealings with the forces of [[Odium]]. She meets with [[Venli]] and gives her a [[gemstone]] that contains [[Ulim]].{{book ref|sa4|52}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
During a trip to the Shattered Plains with the listeners, Gavilar brings a retinue of attendants. Axindweth, who is allegedly a surgeon's assistant, approaches Eshonai and asks her what she sees when she looks at the spren. Eshonai notes that she wears a great deal of rings on her right hand, which seems impractical. Later, when Eshonai pulls out her hunting knife to cut something, Axindweth asks if she can take a closer look at it. She beckons Gavilar over, then theorizes that Eshonai's knife must date back to the False Desolation.{{book ref|sa4|48}} ▼
Axindweth wears a traditional [[Alethi]] [[havah]] on both occasions where she interacts with [[Venli]] and [[Eshonai]]. Though Axindweth is ambitious and has a thirst for knowledge, as demonstrated by her questions to the [[listener]]s and her conversation with Venli, she knows when to withdraw before getting into trouble.{{book ref|sa4|77}}{{book ref|sa4|52}}
After Venli and Eshonai's family move into an abandoned city on the Shattered Plains, defeating the family of listeners that held it beforehand, Axindweth appears again with Gavilar's retinue. She finds Venli sitting outside the city, staring at the broken plateaus below. She converses with Venli in the listener tongue, much to Venli's surprise, and says that she's always been good at languages. Introducing herself as Axindweth, she asks if Venli would like to learn to obtain a form of power. Despite Venli's protests, she questions the listeners' faith in their ancestors. Finally, she entices Venli into her offer by suggesting there are forms of power that can heal someone. As Venli expresses shock, Axindweth withdraws a blood-red, glowing gemstone from her safehand sleeve. She instructs Venli to take the gem and break it in a storm to find the answers she seeks, she leaves.{{book ref|sa4|52]}▼

{{quote|Oh, I've always been good with languages.|Axindweth to Venli on her ability to speak the Listener language without learning it{{book ref|sa4|52}} }}
She is likely a [[Terris]]woman and a [[Feruchemist]], since she wears a large number of rings that serve as metalminds. Axindweth can easily learn and speak different languages, owing to her Feruchemy and her metalminds.{{book ref|sa4|77}}{{book ref|sa4|52}}

{{for|Assassination of Gavilar}}
At the feast that Gavilar held to celebrate the treaty between the listeners and Alethi, Venli and [[Ulim]] searched for a bag of gemstones that Axindweth left in the palace for Venli's scholars. Venli asked Ulim where Axindweth was. Ulim insisted that Axindweth hadn't contacted him in a few days, but promised she'd leave more gemstones at the rendezvous point. Once Venli and Ulim reached the rendezvous point, a privy room, they found a ciphered note from Axindweth in an empty chamber pot. In the note, Axindweth wrote that she'd been discovered by [[Gereh|another one]] of her kind, who was an agent working for a different entity. This agent turned Gavilar against her, and soon after, Axindweth fled [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa4|77}}
