Previous Desolations were marked from [[Herald]]s giving into the torture in Damnation, Returning to Roshar, and then the [[Fused]]--leaders of the [[Voidbringer]]s--Returning as well, entering bodies of the singers.{{book ref|sa3|38}} However, the False Desolation occurred well after the Last Desolation, where the Heralds abandoned the [[Oathpact]]. Thus, there were no Fused in this "Desolation." It's unclear how fighting between humans and singers progressed since the Last Desolation, but it's likely the two species warred.
The False Desolation started in earnest when [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], one of the nine [[Unmade]] and sometimes referred to as a "highprincess" of the Voidbringers and sometimes their commander,{{epigraph ref|sa3|106}} [[Connection|Connected]] with the singers.{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} This allowed Ba-Ado-Mishram to provide [[Regal|forms of power]] to singers, and gave them access to [[Voidlight]]. It is unclear how Ba-Ado-Mishram performed this feat, or why she could not do so sometime earlier between the Last Desolation and then. The Radiants were confused as to Ba-Ado-Mishram's new Connection with the singers,{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} which might suggest this was a new development in her abilities, and not an ability she could perform before. It also seems that she managed to Connect with the vast majority of singers, all except those who would become the [[listener]]s.
