| I find Ba-Ado-Mishram to be the most interesting of the Unmade. She is said to have been keen of mind, a highprincess among the enemy forces, their '''commander''' during some of the Desolations. I do not know how this relates to the ancient god of the enemy, named Odium.

Like all Unmade, Ba-Ado-Mishram's true origin is unknown. Her role during the Desolations is unclear, but she was said to be a highprincess of the enemy, and a commander in some Desolations.{{epigraph ref|sa3|106}} Her relationship with the [[Fused]] during the Desolations is unclear.

About 2,500 years after AharetiamAharietiam,{{book ref|sa3|56}} Ba-Ado-Mishram made an enormous splash on the world stage. Ba-Ado-Mishram [[Connection|Connected]] with the vast majority of [[singer]]s on Roshar--all except the [[listener]]s. She granted the singers forms of powers--making them into [[Regals]]--and provided them with [[Voidlight]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} This created a new war, and a different kind of Desolation, one without the Fused. Scholars would later term it the [[False Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|56}} It's unclear what Ba-Ado-Mishram's motives were in makingstarting this dramaticnew action at this timewar, nor is it obvious if she was acting at Odium's wishes.{{book ref|sa4|73}}

The [[Knights Radiant]] of the era felt that the singers fought with zeal,{{epigraph ref|sa3|77}} and did not know how Ba-Ado-Mishram could Connect with the singers.{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} The fighting was particularly intense during this period intense.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}} At some point, the singers pressed towards [[Feverstone Keep]], though the Radiants did not understand why the area interested the singers--or perhaps Ba-Ado-Mishram--so much. Some speculated that it had been part of a plan to capture the city of [[Rall Elorim]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|84}}

===LegacyEffects of the Binding===

Ba-Ado-Mishram's imprisonmentbinding had massive effects on Roshar. It ripped out both [[Connection]] and [[Identity]] from the singers, which prevented them from being able to act independently.{{book ref|sa3|17}} This Spiritual damage persisted even through the singers' offspring. The few singers that were not part of the False Desolation--the [[listeners]]--termed these singers as slaveforms; singers with no form. Humans used these singers as slaves for two thousand years, until the [[Everstorm]] arrived and healed them.{{book ref|sa3|17}} The singers were furious at humanity for this act of enslavement, and this became a rallying cry for them to fight against humanity in the [[True Desolation]].

Fighting in the False Desolation occurred near Feverstone Keep,{{epigraph ref|sa3|84}} and since that is the site of many [[Windrunner]]s and [[Stoneward]]s abandoning their oaths,{{book ref|sa2|52}}{{book ref|sa3|56}} it is possible that Ba-Ado-Mishram's imprisonment precipitated the Recreance. It may have been the final thing that made the Radiants feel they were on the wrong side. The Recreance certainly happened at the same time or directly after Ba-Ado-Mishram's imprisonment.
