Prior to the [[True Desolation]], they lived on eastern Roshar, near the [[Shattered Plains]]. During the [[War of Reckoning]], they inhabited the city of [[Narak]].

== Geography and
==== Geography ====
The Listeners lived in the [[Unclaimed Hills]], very close to the [[Shattered Plains]]. Some Listener [[Listener#Culture|families]] occupied the circular craters near the western edge of the plains, while others spent their lives living in the wilderness around these craters.
After the assassination of King [[Gavilar Kholin]] the Listeners fled to the Shattered Plains, after this event they began inhabiting the city of [[Stormseat|Narak]].{{book ref|WoR|i|1}} After the end of the [[War of Reckoning|war]] and the [[Battle of Narak]] the remaining Listeners roamed around the Shattered Plains for a while.

== Politics ==
Some singers hate trapping spren, instead preferring going out into the highstorms and attracting the proper spren. Measure time by the rhythms, movements and half movements. During the war of reckoning many listeners no longer cared about their origins. Forms couldn’t be commanded, everyone was free to choose. They sometimes tie their hair in braids, binding them together with ribbons. The Listeners grow and prune Shalebark, although they do it for decoration. They have stories of the [[Unmade]].
every half year the Listeners do an accounting of the population, counting their numbers and determining if the forms are balanced. They have roughly 37 thousand people.

==== Paper ====
The Listeners have their own unique way of making paper. They make the paper from dried [[rockbud]] pulp following a harvest.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} These rockbuds are native to the unclaimed hills and shattered plains. Their paper is much rougher then human paper and varies in Color. Their paper is also textured and full instead of neat and sterile.{{book ref|WoR|i|4}} They also have a [[Song of Making Paper|song]] describing the process. This ensures that the Listeners never forget how to make it.{{book ref|sa4|45}}
