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 [[Honorblade]]s, which predate and are more powerful than [[Shardblade]]s.{{book ref|sa|part=prelude}}
 
The appearance of the Heralds is known to announce the coming of a [[Desolation]]. Between Desolations, the Heralds are trapped in Braize, or Damnation, being tortured by voidspren. 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 Heralds being there, bound by the [[Oathpact]] prevents the voidspren from returning to Roshar and inhabiting the parshmen, turning them into voidbringers.
