View source for False Desolation

The '''False Desolation''' occurred around two thousand years after the [[Aharietiam|Last Desolation]], near when the [[The Day of Recreance|Recreance]] occurred.{{Ref|ob|c|56}} The [[Unmade]], [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], [[Connection|Connected]] then with the [[Singers|singers]] and provided them with [[Singers#Forms of Power|forms of power]] and [[Voidlight]] as [[Odium]] once did during the [[Desolation]]s.{{Ref|ob|c|80}} The [[Knights Radiant]] sought to stop this threat by imprisoning Ba-Ado-Mishram. While they succeeded in this, in so doing they stole part of those singers' souls, ripping out both their Connection and [[Identity]].{{Ref|ob|c|17}}{{Ref|ob|c|81}} These singers no longer had a [[Listener Forms|form]] and were termed '[[Slaveform|slaveform]]'.

==Quotes==
{{Quote|"A legend," ''Jasnah said.'' "Considered pseudohistorical. Dovcanti wrote an epic about it somewhere around fifteen hundred years ago. The claim is that some Voidbringers survived Aharietiam, and there were many clashes with them afterward. It's considered unreliable, but that's because many later ardents insist that no Voidbringers could have survived. I'm inclined to assume this is a clash with parshmen before they were somehow deprived of their ability to change forms." {{Ref|ob|c|56}}}}

{{Quote|I find Ba-Ado-Mishram to be the most interesting of the Unmade. She is said to have been keen of mind, a highprincess among the enemy forces, their commander during some of the Desolations.
