“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. They have a presence in Jah Keved, and Shallan Davar thought there might be one at a Middlefest fair.[3] There are some ties between Worldsingers and the Terris Worldbringers[4], that may be related to Hoid.
Notable Worldsingers

- Sigzil: Recently became a full Worldsinger, former apprentice to Hoid.[5] Sigzil feels that he is inept as a Worldsinger, as he is not able to tell a story competently to Kaladin.[6]
