ToThe beholdglory hisof glory directlyAlmighty is saidsuch to be deadly, asthat anyone wholooking didupon sohim would surely beimmediately turnedburn to ash.{{book ref|sa1|7}} As such, he is typically represented by the divine prism with ten facets, each for one of the Heralds. Each Herald is an emissary of the Almighty, wielding potent magical powers, as well as the ability to respond to prayers and patronage over a specific part of human experience.{{book ref|sa1|33}} Vorinism typically places [[Jezrien]] and [[Kalak]] as the highest among the Heralds, with others beneath them. Occassionally, either of them are conflated with the [[Stormfather]], who in turn is commonly equated with the Almighty himself, although this depends on the particular Vorin country.{{book ref|sa1|55}}{{book ref|sa3|64}}
