The '''Parshendi''' are a race of creatures on the world of [[Roshar]], featured in [[The Stormlight Archive]].
 
 
They live in the area of Roshar known as the [[Shattered Plains]] and seem to be related to (and physically resemble in some aspects) [[Parshmen|The Parshmen]]. However, the Parshendi are mentally much more intelligent than the Parshmen. Male Parshendi grow beards, which they thread through beads infused with [[stormlight]].
 
 
The Parshendi were originally discovered by [[Gavilar|King Gavilar]] during a hunting trip. Not much is known about the ways of the Parshendi. They appear to have a form of hive mind.
 
 
Physically, the parshendi are well-built and have marbled skin patterns of white and red or black and red.They also grow a form of chitinous armor on their chests and head.
 
 
They hired [[Szeth]] to assassinate the King of Alethkar, [[Gavilar]], on the eve of a treaty with the Alethkar people. They instructed him to wear white because it is a Parshendi tradition for assassinations.
 
 
They seem to have an affection for the drum and other rhythmic instruments and sing while fighting.
 
 
Jasnah believes that the Parshendi and Parshmen are the descendants of the voidbringers which caused the Desolations.
