=== Becoming Heralds ===

| HUMANS COULD NEVER WIN WHEN THE CREATURES THEY KILLED WERE REBORN EACH TIME THEY WERE SLAIN. AND SO, THE OATHPACT.
| Stormfather on the creation of the Heralds{{book ref|sa3|38}}
}}
Most of the Heralds were born on [[Ashyn]], with [[Shalash]] as the only possible exception. After humanity destroyed that planet's ecosystem, they traveled along with the rest of the refugees to [[Roshar]], although they weren't the Heralds yet at that point.{{wob ref|11945}}{{book ref|sa3|111}}
=== The Desolations ===

| Almighty above, [[Kalak]] thought. You’re broken too, aren’t you? They all were.
Things came to a head in the [[Aharietiam]], a Desolation where only one Herald, [[Taln]], died in battle. Those who survived were supposed to return voluntarily; however, [[Ishar]] theorized that one Herald remaining in Braize was sufficient to keep the Oathpact going. As such, the Heralds decided to abandon Taln to his fate, leaving their Honorblades -- and the Oathpact -- behind.{{book ref|sa|prelude}} To hide this fact, they told the ordinary people that the Desolations were over, and that they would take the fight to the [[Tranquiline Halls]].{{book ref|sa3|42}}

For the next four and a half thousand years, Taln remained on Braize, being tortured by the voidspren to make him break and allow them to return.{{book ref|sa3|119}} At the same time, the nine living Heralds went on to live among the people of Roshar, hiding their true nature. The only one to recover his [[Honorblade]] was [[Nale]], who also remained in touch with the [[Order of Skybreakers]], eventually joining their order and becoming their leader.{{book ref|sa3|106}}

Sometime around the year 1173, Taln finally broke, and returned to Roshar to proclaim a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa1|epilogue}} He was initially disbelieved by Rosharans, who assumed him to be some random madman, which was further confirmed, in their eyes, by his deranged, near-catatonic behavior.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}} Some of the Heralds, such as Nale, initially refused to believe a new Desolation has arrived, though he was convinced upon seeing the awakening of the [[Parshmen]].{{book ref|sa2.5|19}}
