Hello,
I am an editor on the site. I go by Debarra (he/him). I quite dislike redlinks hence this pages exitance. After being missing for virtually all of 2021 I have returned!
I hope you have a nice day. :)

Ashyn History
Like the rest of the Rosharan System Ashyn was designed by Adonalsium.[1][2] It was eventually settled by humans. Originally their civilisations had access to powerful magic that was forbidden on Roshar, this magic was named the surges.[3][4][5] Despite it's name however this may have been a magic system only similar to the surges in effect.[6]
“They came from another world, using powers that we have been forbidden to touch. Dangerous powers, of spren and Surges. They destroyed their lands and have come to us begging.”
The use of Surgebinding on Ashyn was not controlled and this ultimately lead to a calamity and the destruction of most of the planet.[4][5][3][8] The civilisations home to Ashyn would attempt to flee, with many managing to migrate to Roshar as refugees. They were accepted by the local populace.[3][9] Odium arrived on Roshar along with them.[10] The memory of Ashyn would have a large effect on Rosharn mythology.[11] It is remembered as the Tranquiline Halls.[12]
Despite the devastation some patches of Ashyn remained hospitable. The magic on Ashyn changed after the destruction to become illness based.[13][14][15] This worked off a symbiotic relationship between investiture and bacteria/viruses,[16] by allowing oneself to get infected they gain magical effects. Among the surviving areas of Ashyn are the famous floating cities,[17] these cities are held afloat due to a special disease.[18] Some on Ashyn remain aware of Roshar's existence.[19]
Trivia
Some of the Heralds were born on Ashyn. [20][21]
