→The War of Reckoning
|
While the Alethi initially intended to exterminate the listeners quickly, the geography of the Shattered Plains and the existence of the gemhearts led to a far more drawn out siege. Both sides relied on the gemhearts to keep their people supplied with food. Both sides took significant losses, but it had a much larger effect on the singers. [[Ulim]], a [[voidspren]] who had somehow found a way to escape Braize, used the desperation of the singers to convince [[Venli]] to rediscover the forms of power and summon the [[Everstorm]].
The human side of the war served as a location in which many of the returning Knights Radiant unknowingly began to gather. [[Syl]] defied the orders of her people and the Stormfather and bonded [[Kaladin]], the first returned [[Windrunner]]. Dalinar started receiving the same visions as his brother had before his death, starting the bond that would let him become a [[Bondsmith]]. [[Shallan]],, the first returning [[Lightweaver]], made her way to the Plains for a betrothal to Dalinar's son. [[Renarin Kholin]] bonded a [[Truthwatcher]] spren that had been corrupted by [[Sja-anat]]. Dalinar's visions combined with [[Navani]]'s scholarship allowed for the creation of a translation key for [[dawnchant]]. This allowed humans to translate many ancient texts with previously unknown contents.
Approximately six years after the War off Reckoning began, the Herald Taln finally broke under torture and returned to Roshar. Not long after, the listeners used Stromform to summon the Everstorm, and Shallan found the Oathgate that would take them to Urithiru. This marked the start of the True desolation.
