The Night of Sorrows is an event on Roshar.[1]
The nature of the Night of Sorrows is unknown, but it presumably refers to a turning point of some kind related to the True Desolation and the Everstorm.[2]
History[edit]
The term "Night of Sorrows" was repeated in a number of Dalinar's visions, spoken by a voice that Dalinar was not initially able to identify; it was always mentioned alongside the True Desolation and Everstorm.[3][2][4] The Almighty (Honor) later revealed that he was the voice speaking in the visions, but he could not respond to Dalinar's questions, and did not elaborate on his warnings.[5] When Dalinar later revisited one of the visions with Yanagawn, Honor repeated his previous speech in the vision, including his reference to the Night of Sorrows.[6]
The only other known reference to the Night of Sorrows was in a Death Rattle collected by the Silent Gatherers in 1172. It was once again referred to in the same breath as the True Desolation and Everstorm.[7]
Quotes[edit]
“The Night of Sorrows will come, and the True Desolation. The Everstorm. ”
“Unite them. The sun approaches the horizon. The Everstorm comes. The True Desolation. The Night of Sorrows. You must prepare. ”
—Honor[5]
“I have seen the end, and have heard it named. The Night of Sorrows, the True Desolation. The Everstorm. ”
