“ Kaladin felt like one of the ten fools. Actually, he felt like all of them. Ten times an idiot. But most specifically Eshu, who spoke of things he did not understand in front of those who did. ”
The ten fools are legendary individuals of cultural significance on Roshar.
Cultural use
The ten fools are invoked to describe someone who is very foolish.[2][3] Each fool is known for a specific foolish attribute, and has a representative glyph known to Vorin ardents.[4] Specific fools are often referenced in order to emphasize that particular foolish trait.[3] All of the characters who have mentioned the Ten Fools are Alethi or Veden, implying that the ten fools are not well known in modern Roshar outside of the Vorin religion.
Pai invokes the ten fools in a bold protest against Queen Aesudan Kholin and the Alethi government, and is executed for her actions.[4]
Origin
The fools represent the antitheses of the ideals of the ten Heralds.[5] The number of fools stems from the nature of Honor[6] and each fool corresponds to a specific Herald.[7] Unlike the Heralds, it is not yet known if the ten fools are based on historical individuals.
