“There are potential allies out there. Moonlight's world, perhaps. Or the land of the aethers. Hell, maybe even Mythos. ”
Dhatri[2][3] is a planet in the cosmere that is the origin of the aethers.[4] Kelsier mentioned the planet to Harmony as a potential ally for Scadrial.[1]
History[edit]
At an unknown point before 348 PC, it was struck by a force or entity known as the dark aether, leaving the planet inhospitable to aetherbound.[5][6]
Culture[edit]
Religion[edit]
Gods[edit]
They are known to worship the aethers as gods, which they believe predate not only the Shattering, but Adonalsium in its entirety.[5] They believe that aethers made all people, creating them to each think differently from one another.[7]
Rebirth[edit]
They also believe humans were gifted with rebirth by the aethers to encourage, bless, and uplift their fellow people.[8] Those that follow the aethers also hold that people return to the aethers upon their deaths to reflect upon their choices in life.[6] It is believed that people who have made poor choices are cursed to wait a long time until their next rebirth.[8] They often swear with phrases such as "by the first aether".[9]
Nations[edit]
It has at least twelve known kingdoms, each one seemingly associated with a specific aether.[8] The exact nature of their governments is unknown, but they have a position known as a Raj, and a body known as the Coriander Court.[8]
