Approximately 4,500 years after the [[Last Desolation]], [[Odium]] and his servants developed the [[Everstorm]] and guided the [[listeners]] to summoning it,{{book ref|sa4|73}}{{book ref|sa4|86}} thus allowing the [[Fused]] to circumvent the Oathpact and return to [[Roshar]] without [[Talenel]] breaking.{{book ref|sa3|38}}{{wob ref|14869}} Odium is now waging the [[True Desolation]] against the people of Roshar, while [[Dalinar Kholin]] and the newly re-founded [[Knights Radiant]] attempt to stop him.{{book ref|sa2|89}} At the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Odium agreed to a contest of champions to decide the fate of Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|117}}

About a year later, Odium returned to set the terms for the contest. Ultimately he and Dalinar agreed that, no matter the outcome of the contest, Odium would remain bound to the [[Rosharan system]] and would cease hostilities against the [[coalition of monarchs]], with only the fate of [[Alethkar]], [[Herdaz]], and Dalinar's soul depending on the outcome of the contest.{{book ref|sa4|112}} The protections specified for [[Hoid]] in Dalinar's initial, written, proposed contract also appear to be in effect.{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}} The contest is set for the tenth hour of the [[Roshar#Calendar|tenth day of the month Palah]] at the top of [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa4|112}}
