Desolations were events in the history of Roshar. Few is known about them except legends. Still those agree on some points.

Desolations came in cycles, they were regular in coming. During Desolations, the inhabitants of Roshar were attacked by an enemy force, generally called Voidbringers. The cycle of Desolations was somehow attached to the Oathpact.

The coming of a Desolation was announced by the appearance of the Ten Heralds. Also, the appearance of Midnight Essence was a sign for an upcoming Desolation.

One certain Desolation lasted eleven years.

It was the duty of the Knights Radiant to stay vigilant and prepare for Desolations and fight the Voidbringers when it arrived.

According to Vorinism, mankind fought the Voidbringers during Desolations 99 times, before mankind finally won and drove them back to the Tranquiline Halls. That victory was later referred to as the Last Desolation.

Actually, at the end of what was called the Last Desolation, nine out of ten Heralds abandoned the Oathpact. This led to a very long period of about 4500 years without a Desolation.

When Talenel appeared at Kholinar at the end of the events described in The Way of Kings, he announced the coming of the True Desolation.
