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.

Sigzil on the Worldsingers[1]

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

This page or section deals with theories or speculation.
Please read carefully and note that this is not necessarily canonical.

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.
