However, the reason why Ba-Ado-Mishram is absent in the modern era is because she was imprisoned during the [[False Desolation]], around the time of the [[Recreance]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} It is also possible that the reason why there are legends of her being the commander of the enemy is because of her role in the False Desolation as well, rather than actually being a commander during actual Desolations with the [[Fused]].

Ba-Ado-Mishram has some of the most powerful capabilities of individuals outside of [[Shard]]s.

Ba-Ado-Mishram's imprisonment 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.
The current location of her gemstone prison is unknown.
