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.
The Voidbringers are also capable of using [[Stormlight]] to fuel magic, though we are not yet certain what they can do. In the prologue of [[The Way of Kings]], [[Szeth]] states that he has heard Voidbringers can retain Stormlight indefinitely, without losing any to leaks as humans do when they hold it.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
Near the end of The Way of Kings, [[Jasnah]] speculates to [[Shallan]] that the [[Parshendi]] and [[Parshmen]] are at least part of the Voidbringer species.{{book ref|sa1|72}} At one point in The Way of Kings, during a conversation with [[Navani]], [[Adolin]], [[Renarin]], and [[Dalinar]] via [[spanreed]], Jasnah has [[Shallan]] sketch a picture of a Voidbringer from an historical text. When the sketch was complete, all agreed that it closely resembled a [[Chasmfiend]].{{book ref|sa1|28}}
