El Eila Stele es la obra escrita más antigua conocida en Roshar, escrita en canto del alba.[1] Contiene varias piezas claves de información sobre la historia del planeta.
Historia
Los historiadores creen que el Eila Stele es el texto más antiguo en existencia de Roshar. -está en forma de tallado, probablemente en un monumento estela. Primero se creía que precedía las primeras Desolaciones, y que posiblemente había sido escrita por los Heraldos.[1] El canto del alba pasó a ser una lengua muerta con el tiempo,[2] y el significado del Eila Stele se perdió. Sin embargo, Navani Kholin se dió cuenta de que fragmentos del canto del alba podían ser recuperados de las visiones de Dalinar.[3] Esto resultó en una avalancha de traducciones de Navani y los fervorosos del Palaneo[4] y del monasterio de Jokasha.[5] Jasnah y los verisititalians también toman interés,[6] así como Taravangian y el Diagrama (grupo)\Diagrama.[7]
Con los esfuerzos de estos grupos, el canto del alba finalmente fue descifrado, permitiendo que el Eila Stele fuera traducido.[1]
Contents and Revelations
After the Eila Stele was translated, it was revealed that the author was not a Herald but a Dawnsinger.[1] Dawnsingers were ancient ancestors of the singers native to Roshar; they were not spren, as theorized by the Vorin church.[1] The text further revealed that the first people known as Voidbringers were actually humans, who were not native to Roshar.[1] This contradicted Vorin doctrine regarding the Expulsion, which held that mankind fought against the Voidbringers to reclaim the Tranquiline Halls.[8]
The Eila Stele indicated that humans destroyed their own world.[9] Most of the humans fled to Roshar and were taken in out of pity by the Dawnsingers and their gods.[9][10] The humans were given land known as current-day Shinovar, explaining that region's unique flora and fauna.[11] They later used their Surgebinding powers to conquer most of Roshar.[11]
Cosmere Significance
The Eila Stele was the key to the refounded Knights Radiant learning of the abandonment of the planet Ashyn.[12] Ashyn neighbors Roshar in its solar system,[13] and it was almost destroyed through mankind's use of the Dawnshards and Surgebinding.[11][14][15] The Heralds were among the humans who abandoned Ashyn.[16] The Stormfather tells Dalinar that during the False Desolation, the original Knights Radiant learned of Ashyn's fate, leading them to question the use of Surgebinding powers.[11] They were urged on by Honor, but after Aharietiam, Honor was dying and no longer cogent, which led to the events of the Day of Recreance.[11]

The information in the stele directly refutes several aspects of Vorin doctrine regarding the history of humanity.[17][18] Further interaction with the Heralds and Fused have led both humans and singers to gain a better understanding of the Rosharan system and the relationship between Roshar, Ashyn, and Braize.[19][18][20] Some Rosharans have had to reexamine their belief system in light of this information, as Vorin concepts such as the the Expulsion, Voidbringers, Damnation, and the Tranquiline Halls have proven to be incorrect or only loosely based in fact.[18][20]
Known text
“They came from another world, using powers that we have been forbidden to touch. Dangerous powers, of spren and Surges. They destroyed their lands and have come to us begging. We took them in, as commanded by the gods. What else could we do? They were a people forlorn, without a home. Our pity destroyed us. For their betrayal extended even to our gods: to spren, stone, and wind. Beware the otherworlders. The traitors. Those with tongues of sweetness, but with minds that lust for blood. Do not take them in. Do not give them succor. Well were they named Voidbringers, for they brought the void. The empty pit that sucks in emotion. A new god. Their god. These Voidbringers know no songs. They cannot hear Roshar, and where they go, they bring silence. They look soft, with no shell, but they are hard. They have but one heart, and it cannot ever live. ”
