There was less than a year between the last two Desolations.{{book ref|sa3|38}}
 
During the fighting, only one Herald, [[Taln]], who was the only one to have never broken under turturetorture, died.{{book ref|sa3|38}} The surviving Heralds were afraid of the torture they would suffer on returning to [[Braize]]. Eight of the Heralds, all the survivors except [[Kalak]], met at the appointed meeting place. Rather than return, they drove their blades into the ground and walked in different directions. [[Jezrien]] waited to Kalak to arrive and they both left as well. Although they had been warned remaining on Roshar would lead to a new Desolation immediately starting, [[Ishar]] believed Taln alone would be enough to uphold the Oathpact. Whether or not this is true was irrelevant to them by this point, as they only wished to avoid more torture. They chose to tell humanity that they had finally won, in hope that it might become true. {{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}
 
The lie was uncovered 4,500 years later, when Talenel'Elin, Herald of the Almighty, returned to announce the [[True Desolation]].
