- Some humans carry distance singer ancestry.
- Herdazian have crystalline fingernails that can function like flint, and are more resistant to poisons native to Roshar.
- Unkalaki have abnormally strong teeth that can crush cremling shells.
Most Skybreakers are part of Nale's faction which is allied with the singers. (Nale believes that singers were the original owners of Rosha, and thus, that their law was the true law of the land.)
Lightspren feel deeply betrayed by the humans who enslaved singers for millennia, so these spren have largely rejected humans as potential Willshapers. Instead, the lightspren have sought singers. -pg192
