The Heraldic Epochs began with the conflict between humans and [[Singers]], when the latter decided to ally with [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|111}} To combat this, [[Honor]] chose ten [[Herald]]s, thus forming the [[Oathpact]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} In short, the Oathpact stated that as long as the Heralds were on [[Braize]], Odium could not start another [[Desolation]]; to combat this, he tortured the Heralds until at least one of them broke. A single such cycle - a period of peace punctuated by a Desolation - was a single Heraldic Epoch. As each time, the Heralds broke faster, the Epochs grew shorter and shorter, with the initial ones separated by over a century, while the very last were only years apart.{{book ref|sa3|38}} In total, there were somewhere between fifteen and fifty Desolations.{{wob ref|10816}}
