When humans first arrived on Roshar from [[Ashyn]], the [[singer]]s gave them the land of Shinovar to settle in. Because it is sheltered from highstorms, humans were able to grow the plants and animals they had brought with them there. Humans, however, decided to expand from the land they were given.{{book ref|sa3|113}} During the [[Silver Kingdoms]], Shinovar was known as [[Shin Kak Nish]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} [[Nohadon]] claims to have been in a war near the Shin border.{{book ref|sa3|103}} Shinovar seems to have been less isolationist then, as they had a working [[Oathgate]] and Shin people among the [[Knights Radiant]].
After the [[Last Desolation]], the Shin took control of the [[Honorblade]]s and brought them to Shinovar (save the Blade of the [[Stoneward]]s, as it was on [[Braize]]).{{book ref|sa3|106}} Because of this history, they consider themselves the only ones who remember the truth about Rosharan history, though what they remember might not be entirely accurate.{{wob ref|5964}} [[Nale]] came back and retrieved his at some point without informing the Shin leaders.{{book ref|sa3|106}} Members of the Shin use and train with the Honorblades and [[surge]]s.{{wob ref|5090}} During the [[Era of Solitude]], the Shin tried multiple times to conquer all of Roshar, but they did not succeed any time.{{book ref|sa3|2}} They used Honorblades, Surges,{{wob ref|12700}} and cavalry, a fighting technique unfamiliar to the rest of the continent.{{book ref|sa3|75}} [[Shubreth-son-Mashalan]] was likely a leader during one of the invasions.{{book ref|sa3|19}} Approximately seven years before the [[True Desolation]], [[Szeth]] announced that the [[Voidbringers]] were returning.{{book ref|sa2|i|10}} He was told by the Shin leaders that this was false, made [[Truthless]], and exiled, taking [[Jezrien]]'s Honorblade with him.{{book ref|sa2|33}}{{book ref|sa4|i|7}} He was traded to [[Vstim]], a [[Thaylen]] merchant who often traded successfully with the Shin, and exiled from Shinovar.{{book ref|sa1|i|4}}
After the [[Everstorm]] hit the first time, the Shin sent warnings to other countries, including [[Tashikk]], to prepare them.{{book ref|sa2.5|14}} [[Dalinar]] sent word to them through a Thaylen merchant asking them to cooperate with his planned coalition.{{book ref|sa3|12}} The Shin were considered particularly important allies to gain because they controlled the westernmost Oathgate on continental Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|39}} When they received his message, the Shin declined to join, sending back only a congratulations to Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|24}} While the Shin did not join the coalition, they also did not join [[Odium]] and were considered uncommitted by the end of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|122}}
