=== Resurrection ===
The Heralds are [[cognitive shadow]]s capable of repeatedly returning back to life.{{wob ref|4024}} While alive, they do not age, allowing them to live for millennia.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Upon death, they are transported to [[Braize]], where they are tortured until one of them breaks. When that happens, they are returned back to life on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|38}} This process isn't well-understood, though one thing that is certain about it is that unlike the [[Fused]], the Heralds do not hijack human bodies to resurrect.{{wob ref|12029}} Unlike similar resurrected entities, like the [[Nalthis|Nalthian]] [[Returned]], the Heralds don't have to consume [[Investiture]] in order to remain alive.{{wob ref|10581}}
 
This ability to resurrect makes the Heralds essentially immortal. Until very recently, there was no way to kill them permanently; as of right now, the only weapon known to be able to put them down for good is [[Vyre's knife]].{{book ref|sa3|121}}
