The '''myth of Parasaphi and Nadris''' is the creation myth of the [[Makabak|Makabaki]] people of [[Roshar]]. [[Navani Kholin]] and [[Renarin Kholin]] discuss it while trying to understand [[Dalinar's visions]] and the [[Desolation]]s. [[Evi Kholin]] told the story to Renarin when he was a child.{{book ref|sa1|61}}

This legend says that the Makabaki people are all descended from Parasaphi's children. This would mean that Marnah predates the [[Silver Kingdoms]] of [[Makabakam]]. However, in the modern day, it's unclear which mountain range corresponds to the peaks of Dara. The telling of the myth changes, each naming different mountain ranges for the peaks.{{book ref|sa1|61}}
