The '''listeners''', called the '''Parshendi''' by the [[Alethi]], are a group
Prior to the [[True Desolation]], they lived on eastern Roshar, near the [[Shattered Plains]]. During the [[War of Reckoning]], they inhabited the city of [[Narak]].
To modern humans, the listeners were originally discovered by Alethi [[Gavilar|King Gavilar]]'s brother [[Dalinar Kholin]] during a hunting trip.{{book ref|sa1|28}}{{book ref|sa1|45}} Dalinar was scouting in a forest that wasn't on any maps. In a valley south of the [[Shattered Plains]] and about two weeks' march from the [[Drying Sea]], Dalinar saw the first listener camped on the other side of a tributary of the [[Deathbend River]]. [[Eshonai]] was one of these camped listeners.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} The Alethi called the listeners the "Parshendi," or ''parshmen who can think''.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
The Alethi made a treaty with the listeners to secure trade routes.{{cite}} <!--Where is it stated that this was the purpose of the treaty?--> Due to a translation error, the Alethi thought the listeners' gods were the [[greatshell]]s on the Shattered Plains, the [[chasmfiend]]s
But the listeners feared their gods' return. Their ancestors had abandoned their gods and adopted [[dullform]] to escape them. After frantic debate, the Five decided they would maintain their freedom at any cost. Earlier that day, [[Klade]] purchased [[Szeth]], an assassin, from the slavers.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} They instructed him to assassinate Gavilar and to wear white while doing it, because it was a Parshendi tradition for assassinations.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
