The revisions of history perpetuated by the Church are still difficult to avoid, especially for those that study pre-Hierocracy history or the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa2|3}} Some ancient texts were highly revised to remove perceived contradictions, making it difficult to differentiate fact from fiction. This alteration is one of Brightlady [[Jasnah Kholin]]'s frustrations with Vorinism and a major component to her interest in the city of Urithiru, where she hoped to find original ancient texts, unaltered by the ardentia.{{book ref|sa2|6}}
 
Despite much of the ill-will towards the Hierocracy, there are still those that wish for a return to the days when the Vorin Church was the absolute power. The [[Sons of Honor]] are one such group that seeks to return power and authority to the church by returning the [[Voidbringer]]s, which they hope will trigger a [[Desolation]] and cause the [[Herald]]s to return to Roshar as well.{{book ref|sa2|88}} Other ardents, such as the zealot [[Pai]], wonder why the Heralds did not return to denounce the Hierocracy if it was a force of evil.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}
