'''Kalak''' (<small>Alethi pronounciation:</small> [[Wikipedia:Help:IPA|[kəˈlɑk]]] [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key|kə-LAK]]{{wob ref|6737}}) is one of the ten [[Herald]]s of the [[Almighty]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} He is the patron of the [[Order of Willshapers]].

 

In the Vorin tradition he is referred to as '''Kelek'''.

 

Four thousand five hundred years before the main events of ''[[The Way of Kings]]'', at the end of the [[Last Desolation]], Kalak became daunted by the pain he would have to go through again at the place where Heralds went either after death or after a Desolation has ended. As Kalak arrived at the designated meeting spot for all the surviving Heralds, he noticed only [[Jezrien]] waiting there. Jezrien had been chosen to stay behind, unsure whether or not Kalak had perished. Kalak then confessed that he could not go back to wherever it was Heralds were meant to go due to the continuous torture they faced. Jezrien agreed with Kalak's sentiments and informed him of the Heralds' decision to end the [[Oathpact]]. Apparently seven other Heralds had decided to leave the [[Oathpact]], leaving their Honorblades stuck point down, forming a circle. Kalak and Jezrien left in opposite directions, both their Honorblades left behind with the other seven, leaving [[Talenel]], the only Herald to die in that Desolation as sole bearer of the Oathpact's burdens.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}
