Spensa often referred to it as ''Ships and Slugs'', though often interrupted Gran-Gran, which more times than not, leading to the story being left incomplete. {{image\|Kalak Endsheet.png\|side=right\|width=300px\|Official depiction of Kalak.}} ~~== Excerpt ==~~ {{quote \|I am a blur.

She had searched far and wide, wanting to learn more and more about their unique physiology, to answer the age old question ‘how do taynix slugs poop?’ \|Kalak ▲}} '''Kalak''', also known as '''Kelek'Elin''' in [[Vorinism]], is one of the ten [[Herald]]s of the [[Almighty]] on [[Roshar]], and the patron of the [[Order of Willshapers]]. Like all Heralds but [[Taln]], he abandoned the [[Oathpact]] at [[Aharietiam]]. {{nosnippet\|Currently, he lives in the [[honorspren]] city of [[Lasting Integrity]], acting as their High Judge. He also leads the [[Sons of Honor]] under the name '''Restares'''. }} === Appearance === Janci found that the answer continued to elude her, so went searching for help, looking far and wide, until one day she came across a group who peaked her interest. She asked them ‘do you know how slugs poop?’ Sadly they shook their heads, but they looked at her with bright eyes, eager to help her find the information, and complete her journey. While she visited them, she told them stories of other people she had met, their loves, their losses, and how they had come to find one another. The people were intrigued, and found they liked the idea of these strangers and how they could fit so well together with each other, even when they were not truly meant to be. Though not from [[Alethkar]], Kalak appears Alethi. He's a short man, with thinning, wispy hair, a round face, and a small nose. When he wishes to appear serious, he puts on a set of violet robes; ordinarily, however, he dresses more casually. [[Vorin]] artwork tends to present him as a young man, though in person, he looks more like a city administrator. === Personality === The group thanked Janci for her hard work and stories, and encouraged her to continue her quest and to never give in, because one day, she would find the answer. Returning home from her journey, Janci, full of hope and vigor, sat down at her table to continue with her research. As the sun dipped below the horizon and her eyes began to droop, she came across a passage in her newest tome tha-…’ {{sidequote ~~\|[[Gran-Gran]] telling the story of ''The Great Slug Rebellion''~~ \|They deserve better than you, son. They deserve better than me. I could never judge them for refusing to bond men. How could I? \|Kalak \|side=left\|size=250px }} Back in the early [[Desolation]]s, he was known for being decisive and authoritative, and he would often be approached whenever problems appeared for counsel. However, as Desolations wore him down, he became terrified of dying and returning to [[Braize]] to be tortured. By [[Aharietiam]], he has vivid, painful memories of the torture that sometimes cause him to briefly lose his grip on reality. When given the choice to abandon the Oathpact, he's aware of and terrified of the consequences. However, by this point his fear of torture far outweighs his sense of duty. ~~== Notes ==~~ ~~{{notice\|class=stub quality quality-complete~~ By the [[True Desolation]], this develops into paranoid and erratic behavior. Kalak vacillates often, and finds making even the simplest decisions difficult. He often follows what the crowd wants instead of his own internal moral compass. He seems to have trouble focusing, or at least paying attention to time, even when others are waiting for him. He believes humans are dangerous; he's unsettled by their presence, with [[Bondsmith]]s, and people associated with them, seeming to provoke the strongest reaction. A visit into a human city makes him jittery to the point where he runs away at the sight of another person. It's likely that he prefers to live in [[Lasting Integrity]] for this reason. Even there, however, unexpected commotion can quickly make him panic. In this state, he is near-insensate, crying, covering his ears and curling on the floor. He recovers extremely quickly, though, and with no outward sign that he's been disturbed. ~~\|b=This page is complete!~~ ~~\|1=This page contains all of the knowledge that the prophet Janci has revealed to us at this time.<br />~~ ; [[Kalak\|Read more!]] · [[:category: exemplary articles\|Other exemplary articles]] ~~<span class="signed" style='font-size: 80%'>So it is decreed by the [[Coppermind:Keepers\|Keepers]] on high</span>~~ }} ~~</div>~~ == Want to Help? == Not to fear!
