Heraldo
por Isaac Stewart
Mundo de origen	Roshar

The Heralds are servants of the Almighty worshipped in Vorinism. There are ten Heralds, and each is associated with one of the Ten Essences. The Heralds are also known as Kadasixes in Azir, and the suffix "'Elin" is often appended to their Vorin names, presumably signifying "Herald" or some other honorific.

The Heralds wield the Honorblades, which predate and are more powerful than Shardblades.

The appearance of the Heralds is known to announce the coming of a Desolation. Between Desolations, the Heralds are trapped in Braize, or Damnation, being tortured by voidspren. Heralds that die during a Desolation are sent back to Braize; those that survive are supposed to go back voluntarily. The Heralds being there, as established by the Oathpact, prevents the voidspren from returning to Roshar and inhabiting the parshmen, turning them into Voidbringers.

Heralds are cognitive shadows and not Slivers.

They were alive during humanity's exodus from Ashyn, though they were not Heralds yet at that point.

Some of them are more Cosmere-aware than others. A few of them are aware of AonDor, but only on a conceptual level.
