The Last Desolation, also know as Aharietiam in Vorinism traditionCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content was believed to be the last Desolation, when mankind's hard-won victory over the Voidbringers ended the Desolation cycle.

According to Vorin tradition, mankind led by the Heralds and their chosen knights fought off the Voidbringers ninety and nine times. Until finally, Aharietiam came and the Voidbringers were cast back into the Tranquiline Halls. The Heralds followed to force them out of heaven as well, and Roshar's Heraldic Epochs ended.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

In truth, the Heralds, weighed down by the burden of millennias of Desolations, chose to abandon their self-apointed burden, ending the Oathpact. They told the people that they finally won, in hope that it might become true.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

The lie was uncovered 4500 years later, when Talenel'Elin, the last Herald of the Almighty returned to announce the True Desolation
