The coming of the True Desolation, the Everstorm, or the Night of Sorrows over Roshar was predicted a few times in The Way of Kings.
Lore
Mankind feared the Desolations though the Last Desolation happened 4,500 years ago and very little knowledge about these events had survived.
Dalinar's visions
In Dalinar's visions he was warned of its coming.
“Unite them. The sun approaches the horizon. The Everstorm comes. The True Desolation. The Night of Sorrows.”
“I have said I that cannot be of much help to you. The Night of Sorrows will come, and the True Desolation. The Everstorm.”
—Honor during one of Dalinar's visions[2]
Kaladin's ride on the storm
When Kaladin rode the storm a voice told him that the Oathpact was broken and Odium comes.[3]
Epigraph
The True Desolation was mentioned in the Epigraph to Chapter 5 in The Way of Kings.
“I have seen the end, and have heard it named. The Night of Sorrows, the True Desolation. The Everstorm.”
—Collected on the 1st of Palahes, 1172, 15 seconds pre-death. Subject was a darkeyed youth of unknown origin.[4]
Talenel'Elin
Talenel was the only Herald that died during the Last Desolation and was forced to go back to Damnation. The other nine Heralds thought him enough to uphold the Oathpact and thus end the cycle of Desolations.
He appeared in Kholinar and claimed that he had failed to uphold the Oathpact. He then fell to the ground, unconscious.[5]
“Who am I? I ... I am Talenel'Elin, Stonesinew, Herald of the Almighty. The Desolation has come. Oh, God ... it has come. And I have failed.”
—Talenel's reappearance[5]
