▲The singers predate the arrival of humans on Roshar, having been created as part of the planet's natural ecosystem.{{wob ref|1723}} After the [[Expulsion]], in which mankind accidentally destroyed their homeworld, [[Ashyn]], the ancient singers were ordered by their gods [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]] to help the human refugees who arrived on their planet. These ancient singers were known as the Dawnsingers.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Initially, the two species interacted peaceably, with some singers and humans even intermingling, creating [[Herdazian]]s and the [[Unkalaki]].{{wob ref|5262}}
However, mankind's arrival also brought [[Odium]], and conflict soon began. Humans, originally granted only the land of [[Shinovar]], sought to expand, causing the conflict that would eventually come to be known as the [[First Desolation]]. During that time, the singers came to call humans "Voidbringers", as humans cannot hear the rhythms. In that conflict, [[spren]] eventually came to side with humans, leading to a sense of deep betrayal in the singers.{{book ref|sa3|111}} It seems that the singers did something that caused the spren to turn on them.{{wob ref|5653}}{{book ref|sa4|87}}
