Talenel, nicknamed Taln, and called Talenelat in the Vorin religion is one of the Ten Heralds of the Almighty.
Talenel was the only Herald who died in the Last Desolation, he was abandoned by the other Heralds when they chose to walk away rather then return the place of torment that they were trapped in between the Desolations.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
At the end of The Way of Kings he appeared at the gates of Kholinar dazed and confused. He introduced himself as Talenel'Elin, Stonesinew, Herald of the Almighty. He gave warning of a new Desolation, and promptly collapsed.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
Though his blade didn't vanish when he collapsed this is not an evidence that he might have died. It's indisputable that Taln is one of the Heralds and thus it's known from the Prelude that the Herald's Honorblades vanish if their wielder died (in contrary to Shardblades that stay when the Shardbearer dies).Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
