After the [[Last Desolation]], nine of the ten [[Herald]]s could no longer bear to return to [[Braize]] to be tortured by the [[Fused]], and instead gave up the [[Oathpact]]. One Herald, [[Talenel]], had been killed in the final battle and had automatically returned to Braize; with him there, the Oathpact remained intact and the Fused were sealed away. They also left behind the [[Knights Radiant]] to continue to protect the people of Roshar.{{book ref|sa|part=prelude}}
Around the time of the [[False Desolation]], the newest generation of Radiants learned that humans were not native to Roshar and had essentially been taking the [[singer]]s land for millennia. Around this time, something—possibly [[Melishi]] trapping the [[Unmade]] [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]]—caused the singers to be stripped of their [[Connection]] and [[Identity]], leaving them mostly unable to act for themselves. [[Honor]] did not support the Radiants through these events, instead raving about how they would destroy Roshar. As a result, the all of the Knights Radiant except the [[Order of Skybreakers]] broke their [[Immortal Words|oaths]], killing their [[spren]] in an event known as the [[Recreance]]. Some time after this, Odium finally [[Splinter]]ed Honor, though not before Honor was able to make some arrangements to guide the people of Roshar through the coming fight with Odium.{{book ref|sa3|113}}

Sometime prior to the reunification of [[Alethkar]], the [[Stormfather]] began sending the [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] that Honor had recorded to potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]] to warn them of Odium's coming, guide them to refound the Knights Radiant, and encourage them to unify Roshar against the threat of Odium and his armies. [[Gavilar Kholin]] received these visions prior to his death and, shortly thereafter [[Dalinar Kholin]] began to receive them as well.{{book ref|sa3|28}} The spren were also aware of Odium's impending return and a few Radiant spren began to return to the [[Physical Realm]] to bond with potential Radiants.

The [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]] collected a [[Death Rattle]] that predicted the coming of the True Desolation.{{epigraph ref|sa1|5}} When confronted about his knowledge, [[Taravangian]] told Dalinar that the information came from the Herald [[Battar]].{{book ref|sa3|121}}

[[Talenel]] was the only [[Herald]] that died during the Last Desolation, and was thus forced to return to [[Damnation]]. The other nine Heralds thought him enough to uphold the Oathpact and thus end the cycle of Desolations. He appears in [[Kholinar]] and claims that he has failed to uphold the Oathpact. He then falls 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. ▼

Meanwhile, some [[voidspren]] were laying the groundwork for the Fused to return. One, [[Ulim]], suvvessfully made contact with the singer [[Venli]], who was researching new forms to help the [[Listener]]s fight the [[War of Reckoning]] against the Alethi. She discovered [[Regal#stormform|stormform]] and convinced her sister [[Eshonai]] to take it, who then convinced most of the rest of their people to likewise adopt it.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}{{book ref|sa2|i|11}} During the [[Battle of Narak]], 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}}
