== A short history of [[Roshar#History|Roshar]] ==

* '''In the beginning''':

** Roshar, [[Braize]] and [[Ashyn]] created by Adonalsium. Humans created and put on Ashyn (do I know that for sure? Stormfather calls people sons of Honor like he created humans?). Parhsendi created and put on Roshar. Siah Aimians, and Dysain Aimians?

** Adonalsium shattering. Cultivation and Honor settled in the Roshar system.

* '''The Expulsion''':

** Humans ruined Ashyn (possibly by motivation from Odium?) possibly with Dawnshards. Many went to Roshar. Welcomed by Parshendi as refugees, given Shinovar.

** Odium follows?

* '''The Desolations''':

** Possibly in a conflict cultivated by Odium, Humans want more and invade greater Roshar.

** Parshendi given Voidform by Odium, Fused created by Odium. Also unmade?

** Haralds created by Honor, Oathpact created

*** Fused and Heralds sent to Braize when they die, locked there by the oath that Heralds won't let the Fused leave. At the end of a Desolation, the Heralds go back to Braize willingly to keep the Fused there.

*** Heralds hide from and/or fight the Fused. Eventual caught and tortured. If even one breaks and agrees to let a single Fused leave, the floodgates are open for all. The Heralds also can go back to Roshar.

** After a few desolations, the spren of Roshar create Knights Radiant

* '''The Aharietiam''' (The Last Desolation)

** After many desolations, the Heralds are broken and all agree to not return to Braize. Taln is the only one that died and was sent back automatically.

** Heralds disband

* '''The False Desolation'''

** Parshendi don't have Fused or voidlight.

** Knights Radiant still fight the Parshendi

** The unmade [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]] brings voidlight and voidform back to Parshendi, through Connection.

** 2k years

** Somewhere in here Honor is killed (takes centuries to die)

** The Knights trap Ba-Ado-Mishram in a perfect gemstone, which also lobotomized the Parshendi. They are now parshmen, similar but less than even Dullform.

* '''The Recreance'''

** The fighting with the Parshendi is over, the Knights have no purpose

** Disagreements start among Orders.

** The Knights lose the Sibling, perhaps the current Bondsmith breaks their oaths. No other Bondsmith spren is bonded, so the Knights have no Bondsmith.

** The Knights abandon Urithiru, at least partly because of the failures in the tower, which I think is caused by the loss of the Sibling.

** They also learn they were the invaders, and voidbringers, bringing Odium to Roshar

*** They are afraid they will destroy Roshar like they did Ashyn.

*** Honor, who is dying and not all there, tells them they will, rather than helping them be better like he has in the past when they learned the truth.

*** Plus, they realize they lobotomized an entire species.

** Because of all this, they decide to give up their spren-bonds, even though it will kill the spren (sorta). (I have to assume the spren agree?) Day of Recreance.

* '''2.5k years'''

** Misc events, but peace in comparison to the Desolations.

*** The Hierocracy

*** The War of Loss

*** The Scouring of Aimia

* '''The True Desolation, the Everstorm'''

=== General ===

* The spren bond that is required for people to be able to do sergebinding makes using Hermalugy on a sergebinder to steal their power a little weird. It would not work quite like it does with stealing some of the other powers. (https://wob.coppermind.net/events/370/#e11827) (This makes me wonder if sdna is even needed for sergebinding. I mean Hoid didn't seem to need it to get a spren to join him. Although Mraize implied dna was important when he said to Shallan "I should have known you were from that family)

** the two races are not related

** [[Siah Aimian]]s

*** Native to Roshar?

** [[Dysian Aimian]] (Sleepless)

*** I think I read somewhere they are not native to Roshar?

* [[Iriali]]

** Metalic golden hair

** Mostly have yellow eyes

** Golden skin, less so. Only see in light.

** Not native to roshar

* [[Shin]]

** Round faces

** Large eyes (lacking Epicanthic folds, unlike most of Roshar)

** Where are Shin from, why are they different than the rest?

** Epicanthic fold in the eyes

** Not native to Roshar

** Aimian/Human heritage

** blue veins prominent below the skin

** Aimian/Human heritage

** Pale skin, goes redish when amused (wor 446) although I Rock is described as having tan skin (wok 214)

** Parshendi/Human heritage

** No lighteyes

** Parshendi/human heritage?

Nice article https://www.tor.com/2020/06/18/everything-we-know-about-secret-societies-on-roshar/

* Even though they are an order of Knights Radiant, they get their own group listing because they were the only order that did not disband at the Recreance. They have been secretly continued to operate and recruit.

* She tried to kill Shallan, because Shallan was a surgebinder.

* Some people say she was involved with a skybreaker acolyte, so maybe she was trying to follow their goals of stopping the knights? However, it seems excessive for skybreakers to talk about killing an innocent child, that could not possibly be justified by broken laws, etc.

=== The [[Shamanate]] ===

* stone shamans of shinovar

* Are the leaders call the Shamanate, or the entire group?

* Keepers of the blades

* In touch with someone, Ishar or someone else, to believe the Desolation has not come again. Unless they had just been told that by Ishar 4500 years ago.

* Stones are sacred... Why? Something to do with the soul of the stones?

- world singers

- ire

- Veristitalian

- fuzed

I am personally of the opinion that they were once people, a counter to the Heralds.

* possibly responsible for thunderclast? One showed up when they were dealing with this unmade in a vision of the past in WoR (I don't think so. I think these are just Fuzed that no longer inhabit Parshendi?)
