'''Parshendi''' (<small>Alethi pronunciation:</small> [[Wikipedia:Help:IPA|[paɹˈʃɛn·di]]] [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia: Pronunciation_respelling_key|''par-'''<small>SHEN</small>'''-dee'']]){{url ref |url=https://youtu.be/2VzSSSYKK6w?t=6m16s|text=Brandon saying “Parshendi” at a reading|site=YouTube|date=20182012-11-2503}}, as they are called by the [[Alethi]], or the '''listeners''' are a group or ethnicity of [[singer]]s on [[Roshar]].
 
Prior to the [[True Desolation]], they lived on eastern Roshar, near the [[Shattered Plains]]. During the [[War of Reckoning]], they inhabited the city of [[Narak]].
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).
 
The listeners were much less unified than they are when seen during the [[War of Reckoning]]. They were once split into a number of separate tribes, with raids and assassinations as a relatively frequent occurrence. This is reflected in the listeners having enough cultural experience with assassination to have norms as to how an assassinations ought to be carried out.{{qawob ref|968|2|Parshendi once dis-unified|date=2013-02-224530}}
