The Heralds are a group of Cognitive Shadows native to the Rosharan system. They wielded the Honorblades and served as patrons to the Orders of Knights Radiant. They are widely believed to be divine or semi-divine beings by the inhabitants of Roshar and, as a result, their lives and natures have been heavily mythologized.

Heralds are not Slivers.

The Heralds are servants of the Almighty worshiped in Vorinism. There are ten Heralds, and each is associated with one of the Ten Essences.

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. If a Herald dies during a Desolation, they are sent back to this place, and if they survive, they are also supposed to go back. The Heralds being there, bound by the Oathpact prevents the voidspren from returning to Roshar and inhabiting the parshmen, turning them into voidbringers.
