Right before the Recreance, the Radiants had been fighting in the [[False Desolation]]. [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], one of the nine [[Unmade]], had learned how to [[Connection|Connect]] to the singers to give them forms of power and [[Voidlight]]. The fighting was particularly intense at this time.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}} In an attempt to stop the fighting, the Radiants sent a strike team to try and imprison Ba-Ado-Mishram using the unique powers of the [[Bondsmiths]]. {{epigraph ref|sa3|79}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} Presumably this strike team succeeded as the singers lost their [[Identity]] and Connection and were unable to think or act independently, becoming what is known as [[parshmen]].
 
While this was occurring, the Knights Radiant were forced to abandon [[Urithiru]]. For some unknown reason, the [[Sibling]] withdrew from the tower. People blamed this withdrawwithdrawal on increased conflicts among the Radiants and claimed the Sibling withdrew intentionally, but scholars of the time disagreed.{{epigraph ref|sa3|68}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|70}} Some of the tower's protections failed leading to wilting plants and cooling air, but other functions, such as an increased air pressure, continued to work.{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}} Some of the Radiants seemed concerned about the Unmade infiltrating the tower because of the failing protections when they left.{{epigraph ref|sa3|73}}
