Singers communicate through special Rhythms--hence them being called singers. Singers can bond various [[spren]] which change their forms.

 

 

The Parshmen were transformed, or awakened when the first ever storm came. These new Parshmen exemplified traits where they had lived all their lives. The Azish Parshmen submitted a complaint to the government, while Thaylean Parsh stole ships and sailed away. These Parshmen aren't fully under Odium's control as they can still hear the old rhythms, and are reluctant to follow his every word. This happened when Odium attacked Thaylean city, and the awakened Parshmen didn't want to fight. These Parshmen can remember their lives before. Like Nah who remembers his wife taken from him, and his anger at the event. It could be possible for the Parshmen to switch sides, though it is unlikely.

 

 

 

There is also slaveform, which was the lack of any form, which most singers were locked into for centuries, until the [[Everstorm]] arrived and the [[True Desolation]] began.

 

These forms are mentioned in the listener [[Song of Listing]]. After the [[Recreance]] and before the [[True Desolation]], when the only singers who could think were the [[listener]]s, the listeners only discovered five forms: dullform, mateform, warform, workform, and nimbleform. When the [[Everstorm]] arrived and healed the other singers, singers held these forms and other common forms the listeners could not reproduce, such as artform and scholarform, and had a "dozen" options.{{book ref|sa3|I-7}}

Humans used powers the singers were forbidden to touch, powers involving [[spren]] and [[Surge]]s, presumably some kind of [[Surgebinding]].{{book ref|sa3|}} However, humans also brought [[Odium]] with them, and the singers called these ancient humans the [[Voidbringer]]s. Humans were granted the lands of [[Shinovar]], but they expanded out eventually, and fought the singers. This original conflict was the [[First Desolation]], with humans on the side of Odium.

The singers, no longer the dominant species on Roshar, continued to fight humanity and the [[Knights Radiant]]. Around two thousand years after the Last Desolation, near the Recreance, there was the [[False Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|56}} The [[Unmade]] [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]] Connected with the singers and provided them [[Regal|forms of power]] and [[Voidlight]], as Odium once did in the Desolations.{{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, ripping out their [[Connection]] and [[Identity]].{{book ref|sa3|17}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|81}} These singers no longer had a form and were termed "slaveforms".

 

 

Later, the listeners, manipulated by [[Voidspren]], entered stormform, one of the forms of power. In doing so, the listeners summoned a great storm at the [[Battle of Narak]]: the [[Everstorm]]. The Everstorm, full of Odium's power, passed through the world and restored the slaveform singers Connection and Identity, healed them.
