Unknown to any but the Atha'an Miere, there are a group of island dwelling people that they protect. During the breaking they asked the Sea Folk to protect them from the madness of the Breaking, as men stole and slaughtered, and they take this as a solemn duty. It is the Amayar that make the fabled Sea Folk porcelain, and also their trade goods. In counterpoint to the Atha'an Miere, they rarely leave land, and, if they do, it is only in small fishing boats that stick close to shore.
In Knife of Dreams devastating news is delivered to the Mistress of Ships during her meeting with Logain. The Amayar have committed mass suicide in accordance with their prophecies after the giant crystal hand on one of their Islands has melted. Children were given instant poison, and the adults used slower poison. There are almost none left alive, and the few that have been found are said to be immensely sad at being denied death.
