About 2,500 years after
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.{{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}}
They had a theory that an Unmade could be captured like regular spren, but it would require a special prison--likely a [[perfect gemstone]]--and [[Melishi]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|79}} the [[Bondsmith]] of that generation.{{epigraph ref|sa2|58}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|67}} So, the Radiants formed a strike team to imprison Ba-Ado-Mishram. Melishi was confident in the plan, but other Radiants were uncertain on the effects this would have on the singers. Still, they hoped this would finally lead to the end of the war with the singers, once and for all.{{epigraph ref|sa3|82}}
Several [[Herald]]s, including [[Nale]] and [[Kalak]], were present at Ba-Ado-Mishram's binding, though their role there is unknown.{{book ref|sa4|24}}{{epigraph ref|sa4|94}} Ultimately, the strike
===Effects of the Binding===
Ba-Ado-Mishram's binding 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]].
{{sidequote|Trouble is, spren can get stuck in gemstones, and the humans figured this out. End result: Ba-Ado-Mishram got a really cramped prison, and everyone’s souls got seriously messed up.

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.
