'''Nale''', also known as '''Nalan'Elin''', '''Nin''', or '''Nakku''', is one of the ten [[Herald]]s of [[The Almighty]] on [[Roshar]], who served as a protector of humanity against the Desolations from 7000 to 4500 Rosharan years before the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}{{book ref|sa4|14}}{{book ref|sa4|

A year into the [[True Desolation]], in early {{rosharan date|1175}}, Nale and his Skybreakers were sent to [[Emul]] to fight on the side of the [[Voidbringers]]. During one particular battle, he approached the army leader, Dalinar, and tried to persuade him to submit to the law of the singers; however, before he could go too far into his speech, [[Cord]] shot him in the face, to which he barely responded. After pulling the arrow out and healing his face, he descended to the deck of the floating platform the others were on.{{book ref|sa4|47}}
Nale approached Dalinar, incredulous that the man such as him would be made a [[Bondsmith]]. He tried to amend this and launched himself at Dalinar, but before he could attack, Dalinar, prompted by [[Stormfather]], used his abilities on the Herald, and saw a number of visions from Nale's memory. Starting from Nale abandoning the [[Oathpact]], they went back in time, showing Nale fighting dark forces while protecting a small child, Nale establishing the [[Vorin]] Right of Travel, Nale kneeling before a [[highspren]], and endless fighting he partook in. Last was the vision of Nale agreeing to join the Oathpact with [[Jezrien]].{{book ref|sa4|47}}
Nale and Jezrien once strongly opposed one another on an unclear issue, considering one another enemies.{{book ref|sa4|47}} Jezrien eventually came to consider Nale correct, and offered him to join in a pact, and considered him a very honorable man.{{book ref|sa4|47}} Nale considered working alongside Jezrien to be an honor.{{book ref|sa4|47}}
Over time, his respect for Jezrien eroded, and he came consider him to be little more than a drooling idiot.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}{{book ref|sa4|47}}
