Singers predate humanity on Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Around the time of the [[Recreance]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|81}} many of the singers' had their [[Connection]] and [[Identity]] stolen, pieces of their souls ripped away.{{book ref|sa3|17}} This made those singers docile and subservient, which humans called parshmen and used as slaves for millennia later.{{book ref|sa1|72}} With the advent of the [[Everstorm]], these singers were healed and restored.{{book ref|sa3|17}}
==New Parshmen==
The Parshmen were transformed, or awakened when the first ever storm came. These new Parshemn exemplified traits where they had lived all their lives. The Azish Parshmen submitted a complaint to the government, while Thaylean Parsh stole ships and sailed away. These Parshmen aren't fully under Odium's control as they can still hear the old rythums, and are reluctant to follow his every word. This happened when Odium attacked Thaylean city, and the awakened Parshmen didn't want to fight. These Parshmen can remember their life before. Like Nah who remembers his wife taken from him, and his anger at the event. It could be possible for the Parshmen to switch sides, though it is unlikely.
==Forms==
By staying out in a [[highstorm]] (or the [[Everstorm]]){{cite}} with a [[spren]], singers are capable of bonding with said spren, which has the effect of changing their forms,{{qa ref|987|18|Do Parshendi need a highstorm to change form?|date=2012-11-06}} which alters their physical appearance and mental capabilities.
Slaveforms lived among humans (notably the [[Alethi]] but also in [[Jah Keved]] and [[Kharbranth]]{{book ref|sa1|3}}) and generally function as servants.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Barely of intelligence,{{book ref|sa1|55}} it is said that these people, if left in the woods, would stand around amiably until someone comes along to tell them what to do.{{book ref|sa1|28}}{{book ref|sa1|36}} Generally, a slaveform would take orders without any objection.{{book ref|sa1|3}} They could speak but rarely did so.{{book ref|sa1|7}}
The [[Everstorm]] healed all slaveform singers, and so this "form" no longer exists during the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|17}}
