==Prelude to the Stormlight Archive==

[[Kalak]], one of the Ten [[Herald]]s of [[the Almighty]], is walking a torn landscape after one of the [[Desolation]]s. He is on his way to meet with any of the Heralds who have survived the battle. He contemplates simply walking away in order to avoid the torture the Heralds are forced to endure between Desolations.

 

 

==Prologue: To Kill==

{{epigraph|The love of men is a frigid thing, a mountain stream only three steps from the ice. We are his. Oh Stormfather...we are his. It is but a thousand days, and the Everstorm comes.}}

The prologue begins 4500 years later with [[Szeth]], a [[Truthless]] [[Shin]] assassin, waiting quietly in a large room, watching the [[Alethi]] celebrate the signing of a peace treaty with the [[Parshendi]]. He leaves the room, noting that his Parshendi masters will soon withdraw. Szeth wears white under the orders of the Parshendi to follow their traditions so that King [[Gavilar]] could see him coming.
