| World of Origin | Roshar |
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.[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.
