The Eila Stele is believed by historians to be the oldest extant document on Roshar. It is in the form of a carving, presumably on a stone [[Wikipedia:stele|stele]]. It was first thought to predate the first [[Desolation]]s, and possibly be written by the [[Herald]]s.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Dawnchant became a dead language over time,{{book ref|sa2|47}} and the meaning of the Eila Stele was lost. However, [[Navani Kholin]] realized that fragments of the Dawnchant could be recovered from [[Dalinar's visions]].{{book ref|sa1|60}} This resulted in a spate of translation breakthroughs by Navani and [[ardent]]s at the [[Palanaeum]]{{book ref|sa3|50}} and the [[Jokasha Monastery]].{{book ref|sa3|i|2}} Jasnah and the [[Veristitalian]]s also took an interest,{{book ref|sa3|53}} as did [[Taravangian]] and the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}
 
Through the efforts of these groups, the Dawnchant was eventually cracked, allowing the Eila Stele to be be translated.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
