In Part One of Words of Radiance the epigraphs are excerpts from the journal of Navani Kholin.
| Chapter | Diary Entry | Date of Entry |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "To be perfectly frank, what has happened these last two months is upon my head. The death, destruction, loss, and pain are my burden. I should have seen it coming. And I should have stopped it." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 2 | "Our first clue was the Parshendi. Even weeks before they abandoned their pursuit of the gemhearts, their pattern of fighting changed. They lingered on the plateaus after battles, as if waiting for something." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 3 | "Soldiers reported being watched from afar by an unnerving number of Parshendi scouts. Then we noticed a new pattern of their penetrating close to the camps in the night and then quickly retreating. I can only surmise that our enemies were even then preparing their stratagem to end this war." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 4 | "The next clue came on the walls. I did not ignore this sign, but neither did I grasp its full implications." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 5 | "The sign on the wall proposed a greater danger, even, than its deadline. To foresee the future is of the Voidbringers." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 6 | "We had never considered that there might be Parshendi spies hiding among our slaves. This is something else I should have seen." | Jesesan 1174 |
| 7 | "I was unprepared for the grief my loss brought—like an unexpected rain—breaking from a clear sky and crashing down upon me. Gavilar's death years ago was overwhelming, but this…this nearly crushed me." | Jesesach 1174 |
| 8 | "I seek no to use my grief as an excuse, but it is an explanation. People act strangely soon after encountering an unexpected loss. Though Jasnah had been away for some time, her loss was unexpected. I, like many, assumed her to be immortal." | Jesesach 1174 |
| 9 | "I wish to think that had I not been under sorrow's thumb, I would have seen earlier the approaching dangers. Yet in all honesty, I'm not certain anything could have been done." | Jesesach 1174 |
| 11 | "But, understandably, we were focused on Sadeas. His betrayal was still fresh, and I saw its signs each day as I passed empty barracks and grieving widows. We knew that Sadeas would not simply rest upon his slaughters in pride. More was coming." | Jesesach 1174 |
| 12 | "Unfortunately, we fixated upon Sadeas's plotting so much that we did not take note of the changed patter of our enemies, the murderers of my husband, the true danger. I would like to know what wind brought about their sudden inexplicable transformation." | Jesesach 1174 |
The Listener Songs
In Part Two of Words of Radiance the epigraphs are stanzas from the various songs of the Parshendi (also known as the Listeners).
| Chapter | Listener Songs | Song & Part |
|---|---|---|
| 13 | "Warform is worn for battle and reign, / Claimed by the gods, given to kill. / Unknown, unseen, but vital to gain. / It comes to those with the will." | Song of Listing, 15th stanza |
| 14 | "Mateform meek, for love to share, / Given to life, it brings us joy. / To find this form, one must care. / True empathy one must employ." | Song of Listing, 5th stanza |
| 15 | "Workform worn for strength and care. / Whispering spren breathe at your ear. / Seek first this form, its mysteries to bear. / Found here is freedom from fear." | Song of Listing, 19th stanza |
| 16 | "Nimbleform has a delicate touch. / Gave the gods this form to many, / Tho’ once defied, by the gods they were crushed. / This form craves precision and plenty." | Song of Listing, 27th stanza |
| 17 | "Dullform dread, with the mind most lost. / The lowest, and one not bright. / To find this form, one need banish cost. / It finds you and brings you to blight." | Song of Listing, final stanza |
| 18 | "Scholarform shown for patience and thought. / Beware its ambitions innate. / Though study and diligence bring the reward, / Loss of innocence may be one’s fate." | Song of Listing, 69th stanza |
| 20 | "Artform applied for beauty and hue. / One yearns for the songs it creates. / Most misunderstood by the artist it’s true, / Come the spren to foundation’s fates." | Song of Listing, 90th stanza |
| 21 | "Mediationform made for peace, it’s said. / Form of teaching and consolation. / When used by the gods, it became instead / Form of lies and desolation." | Song of Listing, 33rd stanza |
| 22 | "Stormform is said to cause / A tempest of winds and showers, / Beware its powers, beware its powers. / Though its coming brings the gods their night, / It obliges a bloodred spren. / Beware its end, beware its end." | Song of Winds, 4th stanza |
| 23 | "Nightform predicting what will be, / The form of shadows, mind to foresee. / As the gods did leave, the nightform whispered. / A new storm will come, someday to break. / A new storm a new world to make. / A new storm a new path to take, the nightform listens." | Song of Secrets, 17th stanza |
| 24 | "Decayform destroys the souls of dreams. / A form of gods to avoid, it seems. / Seek not its touch, nor beckon its screams, deny it. / Watch where you walk, your toes to tread. / O’er hill or rocky riverbed / Hold dear to fears that fill your head, defy it." | Song of Secrets, 27th stanza |
| 25 | "Smokeform for hiding and slipping between men. / A form of power, like human Surges. / Bring it ’round again. / Though crafted of gods, / It was by Unmade hand. / Leaves its force to be but one of foe or friend." | Song of Histories, 127th stanza |
| 26 | "They blame our people / For the loss of that land. / The city that once covered it / Did range the eastern strand. / The power made known in the tomes of our clan / Our gods were not who shattered these plains." | Song of Wars, 55th stanza |
| 28 | "The betrayal of spren has brought us here. / They gave their Surges to human heirs, / But not to those who know them most dear, before us. / ’This no surprise we turned away / Unto the gods we spent our days / And to become their molding clay, they changed us." | Song of Secrets, 40th stanza |
| 29 | "Artform for colors beyond our ken; / For its grand songs we yearn. / We must attract creationspren; / These songs suffice ’til we learn." | Song of Revision, 279th stanza |
| 30 | "’Tis said it was warm in the land far away / When Voidbringers entered our songs. / We brought them home to stay / And then those homes became their own, / It happened gradually. / And years ahead ’twil still be said ’tis how it has to be." | Song of Histories, 12th stanza |
| 31 | "Smokeform for hiding and slipping ’tween men. / A form of power—like Surges of spren. / Do we dare to wear this form again? It spies. / Crafted of gods, this form we fear. / By Unmade touch its curse to bear, / Formed from shadow—and death is near. It lies." | Song of Secrets, 51st stanza |
| 32 | "The spren betrayed us, it’s often felt. / Our minds are too close to their realm / That gives us our forms, but more is then / Demanded by the smartest spren, / We can’t provide what the humans lend, / Though broth are we, their meat is men." | Song of Spren, 9th stanza |
| 33 | "But it is not impossible to blend / Their Surges to ours in the end. / It has been promised and it can come. / Or do we understand the sum? / We questioned not if they can have us then, / But if we dare to have them again." | Song of Spren, 10th stanza |
| 34 | "Our gods were born splinters of a soul, / Of one who seeks to take control, / Destroys all lands that he beholds, with spite. / They are his spren, his gift, his price. / But the night forms speak of future life, / A challenged champion. A strife even he must requite." | Song of Secrets, final stanza |

In Part Three of Words of Radiance the epigraphs are quotes from the in-universe book by that same name.

|---|---|---|
| 35 | "They also, when they had settled their rulings in the nature of each bond's placement, called the name of it the Nahel bond, with regard to its effect upon the souls of those caught in its grip; in this description, each was related to the bonds that drive Roshar itself, ten Surges, named in turn and two for each order; in this light, it can be seen that each order would be necessity share one Surge with each of its neighbors." | chapter 8, page 6 |
