The True Desolation formally began due to unknown reasons, four and a half millennia after the [[Aharietiam]], allowing the Fused to return to Roshar. The Herald [[Talenel]] then returned to Roshar to warn the people of their coming and prepare them to fight, arriving outside of [[Kholinar]]. Upon entering the city, he proclaims that the Desolation has come and that he has failed, before falling to the ground, unconscious.{{book ref|twok|epilogue}} Talenel is later brought to the [[Shattered Plains]] where he is widely viewed as a madman. He repeats the same mantra warning of the coming desolation.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}
Meanwhile, some [[voidspren]] were laying the groundwork for the Fused to return. One, [[Ulim]], successfully made contact with the singer [[Venli]], who was researching new forms to help the [[listener]]s fight the [[War of Reckoning]] against the Alethi. With significant help from Ulim, Venli discovered [[Regal#stormform|stormform]].{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Though [[Eshonai]] worried about that stormform would open the listeners up to their gods, she volunteered to take the form as a test of its nature and abilities.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} She is unable, however, to control the form and, with Venli's assistance, convinced most of the rest of their people to adopt it as well.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}} During the [[Battle of Narak]], on on {{rosharan date|1173|10|10|3}}, the stormform singers used its power to summon a new storm of Odium, known as the [[Everstorm]]. Much like the [[highstorm]], it continually rounds the planet, though in the opposite direction.{{book ref|sa2|87}} It restored Connection and Identity to the singers and allows the Fused to be reborn in the body of a singer as it passes over a region.{{book ref|sa3|17}}{{book ref|sa3|38}}
<!--== Events ==▼
=== Forging the Coalition ===
Following the Battle of Narak and the human occupation of Urithiru, some time in {{rosharan date|1174|1|2}}, Dalinar Khoiln forged the [[Coalition of monarchs]],{{epigraph ref|sa4|1}} he began to contact monarchs from all across Roshar to try and get them to join the offensive against the Fused armies.{{book ref|sa3|1}} The primary focus was upon nations that contained Oathgates, due to their strategeic importance.{{book ref|sa3|8}}
They first reached out to [[Yanagawn]] of Azir, however, they rebuked his advances due to a distrust of him and Alethkar as a whole. They completely broke off communications after he became desperate and begun to speak to them more forcefully. This distrust was ultimately sourced in the genocide perpetrated against the Azish people by Sadees the Sunmaker, and by Dalinar's own history of brutality and conquest.
Following their failure to ally with the Makabaki, they reached out to [[Fen Rnamdi]] of Thaylenah. However, she too distrusted the Alethi, with her flatly refusing to meet with that at Urithiru, or allow them to send troops to [[Thaylen City]] to help repair it after the destruction wrought by the Everstorm.{{book ref|sa3|12}} He tried to convince her several times, but each time was met with rejection.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
They also contacted [[Yezier]] and [[Tashikk]], but was rejected by them as well; however, [[Taravangian]] accepted his invitation and informed Dalinar that he would be arriving with one of his radiants via the Oathgate in Jah Keved.{{book ref|sa3|12}}
