[[Navani]] recalls that the '''Myth of Parasaphi and Nadris''' mentioned the [[Desolation]]s to [[Dalinar Kholin|Dalinar]] in effort to afford some insight into those Desolations with regard to his [[Dalinar's visions|vision]] with [[Nohadon]], relevant to the [[Voidbringer]]s, humankind on [[Roshar]], [[Damnation]], the [[Herald]]s, the [[Tranquiline Halls]], and the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa1|61}}
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}}
 
[[Dalinar Kholin]] found the idea that people would be born from rocks to be ridiculous.{{book ref|sa1|61}}
