The '''Parshendi''' are a
== History ==
At some point in the past, the Parshendi were much less unified than they are when seen
The Parshendi were originally discovered by [[Gavilar|King Gavilar]]'s brother Dalinar during a hunting trip.{{book ref|
The assassination led to the formation of the Alethi [[Vengeance Pact]] and caused the [[War of Reckoning]], a prolonged war between the Parshendi and the Alethi on the Shattered Plains.
Near the end of the war, which the Parshendi were slowly losing, a Parshendi, [[Venli]] persuaded her sister, the general [[Eshonai]], that they would die unless they did something drastic. Venli had discovered stormform, one of old listener forms, and Eshonai took the form and forced many other listeners to adopt it as well in order to stop the Alethi and the destruction of their species.
At the [[Battle of Narak]], where Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] led an expedition to end the [[War of Reckoning]], the listeners in stormform, which Dalinar referred to as the [[Voidbringers]], summoned a storm. Eshonai thought the stormform abilities would summon a highstorm, but they instead summoned the [[Everstorm]], leading to the start of the [[True Desolation]].
After the battle, [[Rlain]] laments that with the Parshendi taking up stormform, the Parshendi people no longer exist.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
