“I am not a foolish jester or storyteller. I do not 'give tales.' I spread knowledge of cultures, peoples, thoughts, and dreams. I bring peace through understanding. It is the holy charge my order received from the Heralds themselves.”
The Worldsingers were an organization of storytellers and knowledge-givers on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.[2] They traveled the world learning of other places and cultures and spreading tales of the places they had already been. They saw themselves as superior to traditional storytellers, charged by the Heralds to spread knowledge.
Origin
Although the Worldsingers were supposedly founded by the Heralds, there are ties hinted between the Worldsingers and the Terris Worldbringers.[3] Many theorize that Hoid, a Worldsinger, had a hand in the origin of both groups.
