The appearance of the Heralds is known to announce the coming of a [[Desolation]]. Between Desolations, the Heralds are trapped in an unknown place, apparently being tortured and/or fighting to keep the next from coming. If a Herald dies during a Desolation, they are sent back to this place, and if they survive, they are also supposed to go back.
 
The term Herald refers to the method by which they foretell the Desolations: by speaking through the dying people of Roshar. This perpetual experience of death is also part of what makes the period between Desolations so torturous for them.
