The Bondsmiths persisted following [[Aharietiam]], but their post-Desolation role is unclear. They likely continued to help in the struggles against the remaining [[singer]]s.{{book ref|sa3|56}} By the time of the [[False Desolation]], only one true Bondsmith, Melishi, existed{{epigraph ref|sa3|79}} sworn to the Sibling. As a part of the plan to defeat [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], Melishi used his powers to imprison the Unmade in a [[Perfect gemstone]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} and likely assisted with the capture of [[Re-Shephir]].{{book ref|sa3|30}} This action damaged the Sibling, leaving them unable to hear the Rhythm of the Tower and create their own Light.{{book ref|sa4|49}} The events of the Recreance followed shortly thereafter, and the fate of Melishi is uncertain, although his bond to the Sibling was ended prior to the Recreance.{{book ref|sa4|87}} It is known however that the order of Bondsmiths was disbanded at this point.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}}

=== Refounding ===
No known Bondsmiths were sworn for centuries, although the Stormfather was given the task in Honor's final days of choosing a new Bondsmith.{{book ref|sa3|28}} It is uncertain how often this happened, but ultimately over the course of the following millenia, the Stormfather chose fewer than ten people to show the visions.{{wob ref|12268}} By 1167 Gavilar Kholin had begun seeing visions{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} and had developed at least a tentative bond with the Stormfather.{{wob ref|2509}} This bond ended when the king was assassinated by [[Szeth]] on the orders of the listeners.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} At some point in the intervening years, his brother Dalinar was chosen by the Stormfather and by 1173 he had begun receiving visions of his own.{{book ref|sa1|12}} At the start of 1174 he swore the first two Ideals and formally bonded the Stormfather.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
