Ba-Ado-Mishram is one of the Unmade, a mysterious group of odious spren on Roshar. She has been described as being Connected to the Parshendi, facilitating them with forms of power and providing them with Voidlight.[1]

Character[]

She is said to be keen of mind, a 'highprincess' among enemy forces, and their commander during some of the Desolations.[2]

History[]

Around two thousand years after the Last Desolation, near when the Recreance occurred, there was the False Desolation.[3] Ba-Ado-Mishram Connected then with the singers and provided them forms of power and Voidlight as Odium once did in the Desolations.[1] The Knights Radiant sought to stop this threat by imprisoning Ba-Ado-Mishram.[4] While they succeeded, in so doing they stole part of those singers' souls, ripping out both their Connection and Identity.[5][6] These singers no longer had a form and were termed 'slaveform'.

Epigraphs[]

Ba-Ado-Mishram has somehow connected with the parsh people, as Odium once did. She provides Voidlight and facilitates forms of power. Our strike team is going to imprison her.

–From drawer 30-20, fourth emerald[1]

I find Ba-Ado-Mishram to be the most interesting of the Unmade. She is said to have been keen of mind, a highprincess among the enemy forces, their commander during some of the Desolations. I do not know how this relates to the ancient God of the enemy, named Odium.

–From Hessi's Mythica, page 224[2]

There is very little information about Ba-Ado-Mishram in more modern times. I can only assume she, unlike many of them, returned to Damnation or was destroyed during Aharietiam.

–From Hessi's Mythica, page 226[7]

Notes[]

Brandon has confirmed that the Unmade are Splinters of Odium.[8] Odium splintered himself and created the Unmade to be his influence on Roshar. It is through the Unmade that Odium may be able to influence people there in how they think or act.[9]

Q&A with Brandon[]

Q. Was the being that became Ba-Ado-Mishram Connected to all the spren on Roshar before becoming an Unmade?

A. RAFO[10]
