Sometime prior to the reunification of [[Alethkar]], the [[Stormfather]] began sending the [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] that Honor had recorded to potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]] to warn them of Odium's coming, guide them to refound the Knights Radiant, and encourage them to unify Roshar against the threat of Odium and his armies. [[Gavilar Kholin]] received these visions prior to his death, and
The spren were also aware of Odium's impending return as they saw the [[Everstorm]] beginning to take shape in Shadesmar as early as centuries before the start of the True Desolation.{{book ref|sa4|73}}{{book ref|sa4|75}} Motivated by this, a few Radiant spren began to return to the [[Physical Realm]] to bond with potential Radiants as early as {{rosharan date|1167}}. The earliest known examples being [[Ivory]] with [[Jasnah Kholin]] and [[Testament]] with [[Shallan Davar]].{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{book ref|sa2|10}}{{book ref|sa2|83}}{{book ref|sa4|93}}
<!--If need another quote:
The True Desolation formally began due to unknown reasons, four and a half millennia after the [[Aharietiam]], allowing the Fused to return to Roshar. The Herald [[Talenel]] then returned to Roshar to warn the people of their coming and prepare them to fight, arriving outside of [[Kholinar]]. Upon entering the city, he proclaims that the Desolation has come and that he has failed, before falling to the ground, unconscious.{{book ref|twok|epilogue}} Talenel is later brought to the [[Shattered Plains]] where he is widely viewed as a madman. He repeats the same mantra warning of the coming desolation.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}
Meanwhile, some [[voidspren]] were laying the groundwork for the Fused to return. One, [[Ulim]], successfully made contact with the singer [[Venli]], who was researching new forms to help the [[listener]]s fight the [[War of Reckoning]] against the Alethi. With significant help from Ulim, Venli discovered [[Regal#stormform|stormform]].{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Though [[Eshonai]] worried about that stormform would open the listeners up to their gods, she volunteered to take the form as a test of its nature and abilities.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} She is unable, however, to control the form and, with Venli's assistance, convinced most of the rest of their people to adopt it as well.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}

During the [[Battle of Narak]], on {{rosharan date|1173|10|10|3}}, the stormform singers used its power to summon a new storm of Odium, known as the [[Everstorm]]. Much like the [[highstorm]], it continually rounds the planet, though in the opposite direction.{{book ref|sa2|87}}{{expand}}

Following their failure to ally with the Makabaki, they reached out to [[Fen Rnamdi]] of Thaylenah. However, she too distrusted the Alethi, with her flatly refusing to meet with that at Urithiru, or allow them to send troops to [[Thaylen City]] to help repair it after the destruction wrought by the Everstorm.{{book ref|sa3|12}} He tried to convince her several times, but each time was met with rejection.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
