== History ==
At some point in the past, the Parshendi were much less unified than they are when seen in [[The Way of Kings]]. They were once split into a number of separate tribes, with raids and assassinations as a relatively frequent occurrence. This is reflected in the Parshendi having enough cultural experience with assassination to have norms as to how an assassinations ought to be carried out.{{qa ref
The Parshendi were originally discovered by [[Gavilar|King Gavilar]]'s brother Dalinar during a hunting trip.{{ref|b|twok|c|28}}{{ref|b|twok|c|45}} Dalinar was scouting in a forest which had not been on any maps. In a valley south of the Shattered Plains and about two weeks' march from the [[Drying Sea]], Dalinar saw the first Parshendi camped on the other side of a tributary of the [[Deathbend River]]. They hired [[Szeth]] to assassinate the King of Alethkar, [[Gavilar]], on the eve of a treaty with the Alethkar people in order to stop the Parshendi gods from returning. They instructed him to wear white because it was a Parshendi tradition for assassinations.{{ref|b|twok|prologue}}
