The '''Oathpact''' is an oath held by the [[Herald]]s of [[The Almighty]] to protect the world in the times of the [[Desolation]]s.{{book ref|sa|part=prelude}}
During the Desolations, Odium had given his soldiers powers, allowing them to remain past their deaths as Cognitive Shadows. After being killed, these singers, known as the [[Fused]], were able to take over the bodies of other singers and manipulate the [[Surge]]s with [[Voidlight]]. Everytime a Fused was killed, its soul it would simply be born again into a new host. This formed an impossible challenge for the humans as their strongest enemies could never be permanently killed, and so came the solution: the Oathpact.
Five men and five women gave themselves up voluntarily to this pact. With Honor's blessing, they traveled to Braize and sealed the spren of the enemy there. It prevented the Fused from returning, and so ended the war. Or so Honor thought. While gods and spren cannot break oaths, men can and will. The Fused captured the Heralds and tortured them. Eventually, one of the Heralds would break, starting a new Desolation. At the beginning, the Heralds were strong and hundreds of years passed between Desolations, but near the end, their souls wore thin. There were only 2 years between the last two Desolations. After
After the [[Last Desolation]], nine of the Heralds thought they abandoned the Oathpact, leaving only [[Talenel|Talenel'Elin]] to uphold it.{{book ref|sa|part=prelude}} However, despite what they believe, all the Heralds are still bound to the Oathpact.{{wob ref|5186}}
