“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.
’Tis 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[1]
Los cantores son una especie sapiente en Roshar,[2][3] a los que los humanos llaman parsh[4] o parshmenios.[5] Uno de los grupos de cantores son los oyentes.
Los cantores se comunican a través de ritmos especiales, de ahí su nombre. Pueden vincular a diferentes spren, los cuales cambian sus formas.
Los cantores preceden a los humanos como habitantes de Roshar.[6] Alrededor del momento de la Traición,[7] muchos de los cantores fueron despojados de su Conexión e Identidad, piezas de sus almas arrancadas.[8] Esto hizo a los cantores dóciles y serviciales, por lo que los humanos les llamaron parshmenios y los usaron como esclavos durante los siguientes milenios.[9] Con la llegada de la Tormenta eterna, estos cantores fueron sanados y restaurados.[8]
Biología y Apariencia
Los cantores son humanoides, pero no enteramente parecidos. El mayor signo aparente de su naturaleza alienígena es su piel; está cubierta de jaspas, remolinos de diferentes colores: rojo, negro o blanco.[10] La mayoría de los cantores tienen piel bicolor, ya sea roja y negra o roja y blanca; las jaspas pueden aparecer de diferentes maneras, tanto como delicados remolinos, así como grandes patrones como barridos por el viento.[11][12] También hay cantores cuyas pieles tienen los tres colores, pero son extremadamente raros.[2][13] El blanqueamiento de los bordes es un signo de la edad.[14] Su pelo es típicamente naranja o rojo, colores que no parecen ocurrir naturalmente en los humanos de Roshar.[15][16] Hay una relación entre el color del pelo del cantor y sus colores individuales de jaspeado.[17]
Aparte de su piel multicolor, los cantores tiene otros rasgos que los diferencian de los humanos. Crecen más rápido que los humanos, pero tienen esperanzas de vida más cortas.[18][19] En la cultura oyente, Venli empezó a aprender sobre cantar como una guardiana de las canciones a los tres años de edad y se le consideró adulta a los diez.[19] Sus cuerpos generan un caparazón sobre algunas partes de ellos; dónde y cómo depende de en qué forma está el cantor en ese momento, pero típicamente cubre la cabeza y los brazos.[20] Además, su dentadura es diferente de la humana; sus molares les permiten mascar caparazones, y su metabolismo está orientado hacia metabolizarlos, permitiéndoles aprovechar la fauna local.[21] Sus ojos son también inhumanos: completamente negros, sin blanco en las esquinas ni un iris visible.[22]
Como muchas especies locales, los cantantes poseen gemas corazón, aunque las suyas son blancas nubladas, y están fusionadas a su esternón.[11] Esas gemas corazón les permiten vincularse con spren, permitiéndoles cambiar sus formas, llevando a un cambio tanto físico como de algunas facultades mentales.[10] Debido a sus gemas corazón, los cantantes no filtran Luces como los humanos.[23]
Los cantores pueden beber crem sin enfermarse.[24]
A pesar de estas diferencias, los cantores son como los humanos en muchos aspectos Espirituales. Como los humanos, pueden recibir bendiciones y maldiciones de la Vigilante Nocturna.[25] También pueden vincular spren para obtener poderes Radiantes, aunque la mayoría de los spren son reacios a llevar a cabo este tipo de vínculo.[26] Los cantores pueden ver la realidad del spren más de cerca que un humano.[27] Tampoco sienten el frío tan fácilmente como los humanos.[28]
Sexos y reproducción
Los cantores poseen cuatro sexos diferentes; hombre y mujer, que son capaces de reproducirse, y sus variedades castradas, hombren y mujeren. [10] El sexo de los cantores cambia entre hombre y hombren, o mujer y mujeren, cuando cambian de formas; la gran mayoría de las formas son o mujeren u hombren. Como tal, la mayoría de los cantores son asexuales la gran mayoría del tiempo.[29][30] Usualmente los cantores se identifican como uno de esos cuatro géneros, aunque algunos se identifican con un género no binario y la cultura cantora reconoce al menos un género no binario.[31]
A pesar de esas diferencias, los cantores y los humanos son capaces de cruzarse; los herdazianos y unkalakis son ejemplos destacados de etnias humanas con ascendencia cantora. Esta ascendencia es la fuente de las uñas pétreas de los herdazianos, al igual que la dentadura capaz de mascar caparazones y el cabello rojo de los unkalakis.[32][15] Como resultado de sus ancestros cantores, los herdazianos y unkalakis también son más propensos a identificarse como asexuales.[29] Se desconoce si actualmente hay personas con ascendencia tanto humana como cantora que se identifiquen como cantores.
Formas
Vinculandose a diferentes spren en la alta tormenta o en la Tormenta eterna, los cantores son capaces de cambiar su forma, conduciendo a diferentes apariencias, capacidades e incluso estado mental, así como cambiando sutilmente su aspecto Espiritual.[33][34] Es posible que las formas también alteren la Identidad.[35] Las nuevas formas vienen con un nivel de entendimiento instintivo.[36] Los cantores pueden mantener su forma indefinidamente, sin necesidad de reabastecerse de luz tormentosa o luz del vacío, y pueden usar las habilidades concedidas por la forma sin necesidad de combustible adicional.[37] Pueden existir nuevas formas.[38]
Las formas son especializaciones, y conducen al cantor hacia un objetivo particular; por ejemplo, la forma de guerra concede armadura y fuerza aumentada, haciéndola apropiada para el combate, mientras que la forma diestra concede destreza, haciéndola apropiada para tareas delicadas.[39][10]También hay formas más específicas, como la forma artística para empeños creativos, o la forma carnal para la cría.[10] Menos la forma gris, cada forma está asociada a un tipo específico de spren.[40] Ordinariamente, el spren que el cantor vincule (y por tanto la forma que tome) depende de su mentalidad durante la alta tormenta. Sin embargo, capturar a un spren en una gema y traerlo a la alta tormenta, asegura que una forma específica será elegida.[33] Vincularse a un spren corrrupto dará diferentes resultados.[41]
Cuando se cambia la forma, el cantor puede no escuchar ciertos ritmos temporalmente, o escuchar tonos puros.[42]
La Hemalurgia podría ser usada para replicar la transformación de las formas.[43]
Los oyentes recontaron muchas formas comunes en la Canción de las clasificaciones; también tienen canciones que hablan de formas de poder: la Canción de los secretos y la Canción de los vientos.
Formas Comunes Conocidas
Estas formas se mencionan en la Canción de las clasificaciones oyente. Tras la Traición y antes de la Verdadera Desolación, cuando los únicos cantores que podían pensar eran los oyentes, éstos solo descubrieron cinco formas: forma gris, forma carnal, forma de guerra, forma de trabajo, y la forma diestra. Cuando la Tormenta eterna llegó y curó a los otros cantores, éstos tenían estas formas y otras formas comunes que los oyentes no podían reproducir, como la forma artística y la forma sabia, y tenían una "docena" de opciones.[44]
Forma Gris
“ Dullform dread, with the mind most lost.
The lowest, and one not bright.
To find this form, one needs banish cost.
It finds you and brings you to blight. ”— final stanza of the Song of Listing[45]
La forma gris ocurre cuando un cantor vincula a un spren incorrecto, o un spren que no otorga ninguna otra forma.[40] Es físicamente similar a la "forma esclava" de los parhsmenios, hasta el punto de que un cantor en forma gris puede pasar fácilemente por uno.[39] También es mentalmente limitante; aquéllos en forma gris encuentran difícil pensar, como si estuvieran medio dormidos, y les cuesta más escuchar los ritmos.[10][20]
La forma gris fue una de las dos formas con las que la Última Legión se quedó tras separarse del resto de los cantores, junto con la forma carnal. Fue mayoritariamente abandonada según se fueron descubriendo otras formas. Sin embargo, los espías oyentes siguieron usándola cuando se infiltraron en los campamentos de guerra humanos, gracias a su similitud con la forma esclava.[10][40]
Los niños cantores nacen con la forma gris, aunque para ellos, es más vibrante y menos nublosa; una propiedad que se pierde con la edad.[42] Los oyentes llaman a este subtipo de la forma gris "forma infantil".[46] Necesitan adoptar otra forma alrededor de los siete u ocho años.[42]
Mateform
“ 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. ”— 5th stanza of the Song of Listing[47]
Mateform is used by singers to reproduce; though the other forms are capable of having children, mateform is the one most specialized for the purpose.[29] In female singers, entering mateform increases the size of their breasts; it's unknown what physical effect it has on male singers. Mentally, mateform causes a singer to behave irresponsibly and become distracted in favour of the form's primary purpose; mateforms will sometimes ignore their assigned task, or do things that are expressly forbidden, without realizing the issue with that.[10] Some singers are, however, capable of keeping themselves together while in mateform, though this requires strong mental discipline.[40] Singers in mateform are bonded with lifespren.[42]
It was one of the original forms the Last Legion had after abandoning the Regal forms, alongside dullform. Presently, most singers assume it only transiently, when they wish to attempt having children, though there are some who keep it on at all times.[40]
Warform
“ 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. ”— 15th stanza of the Song of Listing[48]
Warform gives listeners an armor-like carapace, and makes them taller and bulkier than other forms.[49][42] The carapace armor is designed to trap air and push it up underneath to cool the singer.[36] It grants them vastly increased strength; a singer in warform can leap over a chasm of the Shattered Plains with a running start.[33] Stamina is greatly increased, allowing singers to run for hours without strain.[36] It also deepens their voice.[42] Out of all the forms known to the listeners, warform requires the most food, but is also the most durable, and a warform singer heals faster than they would in any other form.[40][36] Mentally, the warform has less impact than most others; it makes one more pragmatic and slightly more inclined towards violence.[10][50] It also severely hampers artistic ability, and is not well-equipped to handle abstractions.[10] Singers in warform are bonded with painspren.[42]
The first listeners to enter warform heard the pure tone of Honor.[42]
Workform
“ 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. ”— 19th stanza of the Song of Listing[51]
Workform endows increased strength, though it lacks the armor; rather, singers in workform are limber and rugged. It's better suited for labor, and most workers use it; however, it is also sometimes used when fighting.[10][52] Singers in workform have carapace in ridges along the backs of their hands, and no carapace on the rest of their body.[14] They are also fairly resistant to cold weather.[42] While in workform, singers are more obedient, and have greater difficulty committing violence, forcing one to find peaceful solutions to various problems.[10][50] It's also considered more flexible than warform.[53] Singers in workform are bonded with gravitationspren.[54]
The first listeners to bond workform heard the pure tone of Cultivation.[42]
Nimbleform
“ 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. ”— 27th stanza of the Song of Listing[55]
Nimbleform is a general form without any singular, apparent function; rather, it's useful for all work that requires dexterity and care. For this reason, listeners use it for tasks such as research, art, and raising children.[10] It has no carapace, and less endurance than other forms; singers in nimbleform are physically weaker, grow longer hair, and have thinner, more slender facial features.[10][40] It does not impede the mind, and in fact encourages greater focus.[50]
This form was rediscovered by the singers during the War of Reckoning, through research led by Venli.[10] It is possible that a bond with a windspren is what allows singers to enter nimbleform.[56] During the True Desolation, most liberated singers wore either it or workform.[11]
Mediationform
“ 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. ”— 33rd stanza of the Song of Listing[57]
Little is known about mediationform; it appears to bestow improved speech capabilities, or better ability to convince or bestow information upon others.[57] Singers in mediationform have smooth, beautiful carapace, and open faces.[58] The head researcher of the listeners, Venli, claimed that she was looking for it throughout the War of Reckoning, but in reality, she never truly attempted to rediscover mediationform in the first place, instead searching for stormform.[40]
Scholarform
“ 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. ”— 69th stanza of the Song of Listing[59]
Though present in the Song of Listing, scholarform has only been reclaimed during the True Desolation; during the War of Reckoning, listeners used nimbleform as a substitute.[11][10] It appears to increase one's mental faculty and patience.[59] Physically, it produces long hairstrands and angular features.[11]
Artform
“ 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. ”—90th stanza of the Song of Listing[60]
“ Artform for colors beyond our ken;
For its grand songs we yearn.
We must attract creationspren;
These songs suffice 'til we learn. ”—279th stanza of the Song of Revision[61]
Artform is formed by bonding creationspren;[61] as its name implies, it specializes in artistic expression, such as painting or music.[60] Venli claimed to be researching this form to other listeners, though that was most likely a lie.[40] It has not been discovered during the War of Reckoning, but rather returned to the singers through the Everstorm.[11]
Forms of Power
“Qualify yourselves for greater service, and you will be elevated to the place of a Regal, given a form of power. ”
Forms of power are attained by bonding a voidspren rather than an ordinary spren. Within Odium's army, such singers are referred to as Regals.[11] In contrast to common forms, forms of power bestow explicitly supernatural abilities, such as being able to shoot lightning from one's fingers or speak any language in the world.[11][62] They can drastically alter one's ways of thinking, such as making people more selfish and callous, and can feel intoxicating.[50][63] They allow singers to hear and use new rhythms, but make hearing the old ones extremely difficult.[50]
Forms of power include, among others, stormform, nightform, smokeform, decayform, and envoyform.
Slaveform
“They may have taken your freedom, but they took our minds. ”
The term slaveform is how listeners describe singers with no spren bond, no form, and vastly limited mental capacity; humans refer to such singers as the parshmen.[10][64] It looks visually similar to dullform, enough so that humans can confuse the two.[65] Slaveform did not exist until after the False Desolation.[66] It was created when Melishi led a strike team to capture Ba-Ado-Mishram, who was providing the singers with Regal forms.[67] Though successful, it had an unintended side effect of robbing singers of Connection and Identity, and thus creating slaveform.[7]
Physically, slaveform singers are strong enough to perform physical labor.[68] However, they lack Identity and Connection, rendering them mentally stunted.[8] Though seemingly capable of feeling and understanding their situation, they cannot fully comprehend it. Their awareness is dreamlike and they have no capacity to understand fully or act on their feelings.[8] They are capable of processing and understanding orders, and will obey without question. When left on their own, they sit around, not doing anything.[69]
Despite this, slaveform singers do retain some mental faculty. They can speak, though rarely do so.[70] They care about and are protective of their dead, usually objecting to anyone tending to them.[71] They also care for their young, though they have little capacity to object if separated.[8] The passing of the Everstorm has healed the parshmen by restoring their Connection and Identity. As such, this form no longer exists during the True Desolation.[72][8]
Exploitation
Prior to the arrival of the Everstorm, parshmen are used as slave labor across the entirety of Roshar.[5] Parshmen slaves are typically more expensive than human ones, due to being naturally obedient and extremely unlikely to attempt an escape.[53] Singers who can successfully birth healthy children are purposefully bred, and often sold off on this basis, even if this requires splitting up families.[8]
They are often used as servants, as well as heavy menial labor.[64][73] They are used as porters in various locations around the world, hauling both cargo and carriages.[70][74] Many countries rely on them for their economy and proper functioning of their cities; the loss of their labor due to the Everstorm would spell a crisis even without the ongoing war.[75]
Rhythms
Singers are connected to rhythms, the underlying "beats" of the cosmere that manifest particularly strongly on Roshar.[76][10] There are numerous rhythms, and singers can attune to any one of them. Each rhythm represents a certain state of mind, emotion or feeling; when not paying attention, singers will attune to the rhythm that corresponds to their mood, but can also attune another to fit with their message. This attuning manifests as hearing the beat of the rhythm in one's head.[40] All rhythms connect the singers to each other and Roshar itself.[77] This, and their regular nature, allows the singers to use the rhythms for measuring time, among others.[40][78]
The singers speak and sing to the rhythms; they carry the singers' emotions, as well as add meaning to their words. However, not all forms can attune the rhythms equally. Dullform can only hear them weakly; slaveform cannot hear them at all.[20] Additionally, those infused with the power of Odium, mainly the Regals and the Fused, can only hear Odium's rhythms, also called the Rhythms of Power. Those rhythms, while similar to regular ones, are usually more violent and aggressive, and represent more twisted, angrier emotions -- for example, Ridicule replaces Amusement, and Command approximates Appreciation.[63][50] They also feel and sound different than the ordinary rhythms.[79]
Soothers can affect singer rhythms and may dampen Odium's influence.[80]
History
The Dawnsingers
“Our pity destroyed us. ”
—From the Eila Stele[6]
The singers predate the arrival of humans on Roshar, having been created as part of the planet's natural ecosystem.[81] 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.[6] Initially, the two species interacted peaceably, with some singers and humans even intermingling, creating Herdazians and the Unkalaki.[82]
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.[6] It seems that the singers did something that caused the spren to turn on them.[83]
The Fused
At some point, Honor and Cultivation sided with the humans, while singers came to work with Odium, who granted their most valiant warriors immortality and great power to fight against the humans. This power made them into Cognitive Shadows, and allowed them to be reborn by possessing the bodies of other singers. Those immortal singers came to be known as the Fused.[84] The Fused became both gods and rulers of the singers, despising mankind, wanting humans wiped off Roshar regardless of the cost.[84][63]
To combat the Fused, Honor created the ten Heralds, who would imprison them on Braize until one of them broke, whereupon the Fused and Heralds would return to Roshar and a new Desolation would begin. The cycle continued for many centuries until finally, at the Aharietiam, the Heralds decided to leave only the strongest among them, Taln, to face the torture alone.[84]
Not all singers, however, were eager to battle mankind continuously for Odium. One such group, the Last Legion, abandoned the Regal forms granted to them by Odium and left for the Shattered Plains, where they would settled, far from the ongoing conflict. They would eventually dub themselves the listeners.[40]
The parsh
“The parsh, as they are now called, continue their war with zeal, even without their masters from Damnation. ”
—From the Urithiru gem archive[4]
The singers, no longer the dominant species on Roshar, continued to fight mankind and the Knights Radiant. Over the centuries, they came to be known as the parsh, though the meaning of the word is unclear.[4]
Around two thousand years after the Last Desolation, near the Recreance, another conflict between the two species flared up. Dubbed the False Desolation, it was notable for the participation of Ba-Ado-Mishram, one of Odium's Unmade.[85] Ba-Ado-Mishram Connected with the singers and provided them Regal forms and Voidlight, as Odium once did in the Desolations, allowing the singers to wage war at levels closer to those of the real Desolations.[67] In response, the Knights Radiant imprisoned Ba-Ado-Mishram. They succeeded, but in doing so, stole part of singers' souls, ripping out their Connection and Identity and turning them into near-mindless husks.[8][7]
These singers without form -- "slaveforms" to listeners, and parshmen to humans -- became the property of humans, turned into cheap, menial labor that would be exploited for millennia to come.[5][10] The only ones who escaped that fate were the listeners, as they had broken ties with the Unmade and Odium.[40]
The listeners
The listeners lived on in the Shattered Plains for the next few millennia, forming a number of tribes settled in the craters around the western edge of the Plains. Eventually, they made contact with the Alethi and, through diplomatic efforts, forged a treaty. However, on the night the treaty was to be signed, the listener Eshonai learned about King Gavilar's plans to return the "listener gods" -- the Fused -- to Roshar. Fearing the consequences, the listeners arranged for Gavilar to be assassinated.[53] As a result, they were forced to flee, abandoning their homes for the more distant plateau of Narak right as humans arrived to exact vengeance. Thus began the War of Reckoning.[40]
After six years of constant warfare, the listeners, manipulated by the voidspren, recovered stormform, one of Regal forms. Spurred on by its mental state, they planned to summon the Everstorm, which they succeeded at during the Battle of Narak.[86] As it passed over Roshar, the Everstorm restored all parshmen, healing their Connection and Identity.[8]
The new singers
“Can't we simply enjoy being able to think? Being able to exist? ”
The newly restored singers assumed seemingly random forms.[11] Their attitudes were similar to those of the humans they spent their entire lives around -- the Alethi singers were angry and warlike, the Azish singers wished to negotiate with the government, and the Thaylen singers stole ships and sailed away. Most of them, however, were quickly swept up by the Fused, who have returned and seek to create new armies with which to conquer Roshar.[88]
To make these new singers more combat-ready, the Fused employed not only their natural anger at their former oppressors, but also hefty amounts of propaganda, most notably using the supposedly last listener, Venli, as their mouthpiece.[11] However, many singers are still apprehensive about fighting humans, and some outright wish that peace was an option.[87] Some singers use the term essai to describe a human supporter (though the actual translation means "hairy").[89]

Trivia
- Singer gemhearts are related to Tamu Keks, a type of bone from Dragonsteel.[90]
