Axindweth
also known as the surgeon with rings
A quiet, ring-handed human woman travelling with the small human expedition to the Shattered Plains roughly nine years ago — taken by the listeners for a servant or surgeon. She speaks the listener tongue fluently, claims old knowledge of singer forms, and presses Venli toward forsworn forms of power with the promise of saving those she loves. SA:RoW:Ch 52
Known facts
- wants-zahels-breath-hoardAxindweth has been working Zahel for weeks, with a green Aviar perched on her shoulder and rings on every finger, to extract half of his Breaths — the trove that drew his captors in the first place. She offers freedom in exchange, then escalates to a painrial when refused.SA:WaT:Ch 69
- built-a-painrial-for-vasherHas built a painrial specifically for Vasher: a small spiked fabrial shaped roughly like a handgun, a more efficient way to make him hurt. Presents it in a box as part of the same offered bargain — half his Breaths for his freedom — that she has already used as the wedge to step him further down.SA:WaT:I-9
Events

- SA:WaT:I-9 Walks into the cell with rings glittering on her fingers and her bright green Aviar on her shoulder, brings the new painrial in a box, and presses the same exchange Vasher keeps refusing — half his Breaths for his freedom.
