Oathbringer/Headings

It has been theorized that the faces on the arches at each of the epigraphs is a Herald (or Hoid), and that each face tells us something about the chapter that is about to be read.

The heralds' faces, along with attributes associated with each herald, are listed at Ten Essences.

The herald icons are listed in order from left to right.
