The story of '''Parasaphi and Nadris''' is a creation myth of the [[Makabak|Makabaki]] people of [[Roshar]]. [[Navani]] recalls it while trying to understand [[Dalinar's visions]].{{book ref|sa1|61}}
According to the story, [[Parasaphi]] was a woman whose people had been all but wiped out in a [[Desolation]], while [[Nadris]] was a man, perhaps her partner, on his deathbed. In order to preserve her people, Parasaphi climbed the [[peaks of Dara]] to find [[Seedstones]], stones touched by the [[Herald]]s. She collected them and brought them down to Nadris, then harvested his seed to bring life to the stones.
Per this myth, the Makabaki are all descended from Parasaphi's children. However, in the modern day, it's unclear which mountain range corresponds to the peaks of Dara, as several possibilities have been put forth by various scholars.{{book ref|sa1|61}}
