The '''Tenten Foolsfools''' are legendary individuals of cultural significance on [[Roshar]].▼
 
== Cultural Use ==
▲The '''Ten Fools''' are of cultural significance on [[Roshar]].
The ten fools are invoked to describe someone who is very foolish.{{book ref|sa1|37}}{{book ref|sa1|69}} Each fool is known for a specific foolish attribute, and has a representative [[glyph]] known to [[Vorin]] [[ardent]]s.{{book ref|sa2|I|12}} Specific fools are often referenced in order to emphasize that particular foolish trait.{{book ref|sa1|69}} All of the characters who have mentioned the ten fools are [[Alethi]] or [[Veden]], implying that the ten fools are not well known in modern Roshar outside of the Vorin religion.
 
[[Pai]] invokes the ten fools in a bold protest against Queen [[Aesudan Kholin]] and the Alethi government, and is executed for her actions.{{book ref|sa2|I|12}}
They are probably from a religious or historical tale, and presumably all have different traits. The only specific fool we know of is [[Cabine]], who acts childish though he is an adult{{ref|b|sa1|c|37}}. They are the opposite of the ten [[Herald]]s. {{ref|?|593|6|Are the Ten Fools the antithesis of the ten orders?}}
 
==Quotes Origin ==
The fools represent the antitheses of the [[Immortal Words|ideals]] of the ten [[Herald]]s.{{wob ref|4157}} The number of fools stems from the nature of [[Honor]]{{wob ref|9567}} and each fool corresponds to a specific Herald.{{wob ref|8116}} Unlike the Heralds, it is not yet known if the ten fools are based on historical individuals.
{{quote|Dalinar moved on quickly. "We must have seemed of the ten fools, charging away like that. I do wish you'd given me more notice to prepare your honor guard. This is a war zone.|Dalinar, to Elhokar, after climbing the rock.{{ref|b|sa1|c|12}}|}}▼
 
== Known Fools ==
{{quote|I apologize for wasting your time, Brightlord. You are correct; this is akin to the ten fools.|[[Teleb]], concerning lighter bridges to Dalinar.{{ref|b|sa1|c|28}}|}}▼
;[[Cabine]]: He acts like a child even though he is an adult.{{book ref|sa1|37}}
;[[Eshu]]: He speaks of things he does not understand in front of those who do.{{book ref|sa2|71}}
;[[Dilid]]: He ran up a hillside to the [[Tranquiline Halls]] with sand sliding beneath his feet—running for eternity, but never making progress.{{book ref|sa3|29}}
 
== Quotes ==
{{quote|Kal leaned back, breathing in and out. He felt like one of the ten fools specifically Cabine, who acted like a child though he was adult.|[[Kaladin]], when he is sent to the kitchens as his father speaks to [[Roshone]].{{ref|b|sa1|c|37}}|}}
These quotes demonstrate how Rosharans refer to the ten fools.
