Since the listeners recall this story about throwing off the Fused, this event must have occurred prior to or around the time of [[Aharietiam]], the Last Desolation, as Fused been trapped in [[Damnation]] for four and a half millennia after that point.
 
Later, near the time of the [[Recreance]] and what was probably the [[False Desolation]],{{book ref|sa3|56}} the [[Unmade]] [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]] Connected to most singers, providing the singers with [[Regal|forms of power]] and [[Voidlight]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} The [[Knights Radiant]] sought to stop this threat by imprisoning Ba-Ado-Mishram. They succeeded but in doing so, stole part of singers' souls, turning them into slaveform.{{epigraph ref|sa3|81}} The listeners somehow were spared from this event and became the only singers on Roshar with their minds still in tact.
 
The listeners inhabited the broken kingdom of Natanatan and the Unclaimed Hills in eastern Roshar for long time, unknown to most humans.{{book ref|sa2|I-4}} For much of this, they knew only dullform and mateform, but eventually discovered warform and workform (and much later, nimbleform).
Shortly after the [[Battle of Narak]], the Fused began to Return in the [[Everstorm]] and took over former listener's bodies and killing them in the process. [[Venli]] nearly sucuumbed to this, until [[Odium]] stopped a Fused from entering her. Venli instead received [[envoyform]].{{book ref|sa3|i-7}}
 
Odium used Venli to tell the story of the listeners to try and inspire the newly restored singers to fight.
