This page or section contains spoilers for Words of Radiance!
This information has the ability to potentially ruin elements of the plot for the reader. Proceed with caution if you have not read this book.
Heralds of the Almighty

The Heralds are servants of the Almighty worshiped in Vorinism. There are ten Heralds, and each is associated with one of the Ten Essences.

The Heralds wield the Honorblades, which are more powerful than Shardblades and will disappear (instead of materialize) when the wielder dies.[1]

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.

Heralds are not Slivers.[2]
