== Beliefs ==
In Vorin religion, people believe in the [[Almighty]], the force of good and creator of mankind. The glory of Almighty is such that anyone looking upon him would immediately burn 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.{{book ref|sa1|33}} 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.{{

=== Creation Myth ===
The Vorin creation story places mankind's origins at the [[Tranquiline Halls]], a paradise from which they were banished by the [[Voidbringers]], the embodiment of evil led by [[Odium]]. While humanity retreated to Roshar, the Voidbringers didn't stop there, coming again and again in times known as [[Desolation]]s, trying to force them off Roshar as well and into Braize, the Damnation.{{book ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa1|61}}
