Kalami has done scholarly work on Vorin theory. Of the Desolations, she tells Dalinar that they were destruction made manifest. That each one was so profoundly devastating that humankind was left broken; populations ruined, society crippled, scholars dead. Further, she states that humankind was forced to spend generations rebuilding after each one.
