So the Herdaziens and Horneaters came from cross-breeding. Would this have been from raping the Parshmen slaves or was there a period of harmony after humans came over from Asyhn? The Shins look so distinctly different that it makes me think there was a period of growth and migration for the humans and they once did co-exist and crossbreed with the Singers since Herdaziens and Horneaters have much different physical characteristics compared to the Shins. Perhaps Urithiru is a midway point between where the Humans use to live on the left of Roshar, where it’s more plush and green, and the singers lived closer to Alethkar, with inter-breeding happening as the humans pushed toward the Origin. Sanderson isn’t big on rape so they had to peacefully co-exist at some point.

Nevermind. Question answered.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. How can Parshmen mate if they can’t turn into mateform? Humans bred them in pens. Is mateform even needed? I’m assuming it’s done through conventional human ways as Herdazian and Horneaters have Parshmen blood in them. Reminds me of my musings on how someone had Koloss blood and could cross breed with humans on Scadrial. Welcome anyone’s ideas.
