The '''True Desolation''' follows the [[Era of Solitude]] on [[Roshar]]. [[Odium]] and his servants wage war against the rest of Roshar, hoping to eventually allow the [[Shard]] to break free of the ties bonding him to the [[Rosharan system]].

Around the time of the [[False Desolation]], the newest generation of Radiants learned that humans were not native to Roshar and had essentially been taking the [[singer]]s land for millennia. Around this time, something—possibly [[Melishi]] trapping the [[Unmade]] [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]]—caused the singers to be stripped of their [[Connection]] and [[Identity]], leaving them mostly unable to act for themselves. [[Honor]] did not support the Radiants through these events, instead raving about how they would destroy Roshar. As a result, the all of the Knights Radiant except the [[Order of Skybreakers]] broke their [[Immortal Words|oaths]], killing their [[spren]] in an event known as the [[Recreance]]. Some time after this, Odium finally [[Splinter]]ed Honor, though not before Honor was able to make some arrangements to guide the people of Roshar through the coming fight with Odium.{{book ref|sa3|113}}

}}

Sometime prior to the reunification of [[Alethkar]], the [[Stormfather]] began sending the [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] that Honor had recorded to potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]] to warn them of Odium's coming, guide them to refound the Knights Radiant, and encourage them to unify Roshar against the threat of Odium and his armies. [[Gavilar Kholin]] received these visions prior to his death and, shortly thereafter [[Dalinar Kholin]] began to receive them as well.{{book ref|sa3|28}} The spren were also aware of Odium's impending return and a few Radiant spren began to return to the [[Physical Realm]] to bond with potential Radiants.
