Voidbringer is the term for a being infused with the power of [[Odium]]. Since the arrival of the [[Everstorm]] and the start of the [[True Desolation]] Voidbringers has been revealed to be the human name for [[singers]], usually either the [[Regal]] or the [[Fused]], both which have glowing red eyes. From the [[Eila Stele]], humans learned that originally Voidbringer was the [[Dawnsinger]] name for ''humans'', because they brought [[Odium]], the Void, with them to Roshar as their god. At some point the term switched, as singers adopted Odium and his power in order to fight humans. Regals are singers who have adopted forms of power, while Fused are the [[Cognitive Shadow]]s of old singers who go to Braize each time they die and return to Roshar at the start of a [[Desolation]]. Since the [[listener]]s summoned the Everstorm, the Fused can return every time it passes.
== Before the Everstorm ==
The '''Voidbringers''' are a race of creatures known only as myths to most inhabitants of [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|10}} Legend tells of a time when they attacked mankind in their homes in the [[Tranquiline Halls]], forcing them to Roshar. The Voidbringers then attacked mankind on Roshar, attempting to force them into [[Damnation]]. According to legend, mankind defeated the Voidbringers once and for all during the [[Last Desolation]]. However, over the course of [[The Way of Kings]] it is implied that the Voidbringers are not as absent as the legends claim.
