Chemoarish, the Dustmother, has some of the most varied lore surrounding her. The wealth of it makes sorting lies from truths extremely difficult. I do believe she is not the Nightwatcher, contrary to what some stories claim.

— From Hessi's Mythica, page 231[1]

Chemoarish is one of the Unmade,[1] an ancient and terrible spren of Odium.[2]

Overview

Little is known about Chemoarish, and she isn't known to be active since Aharietiam. She is culturally remembered during the Era of Solitude, but a variety of myths and stories have grown up around her, obscuring the truth.[3] She is often referred to as the Dustmother in modern times, and is sometimes mistakenly conflated with the Nightwatcher, a spren of Cultivation.[1] The people of Bavland swear by the Dustmother's name.[4]

Trivia

  • The name Chemoarish is most likely derived from Chemosh, an ancient Middle-Eastern god.[5]
