Okay so i am very new to the forum but i have a theory, was rereading  WOR and came across Mraize talking about being worried about this God Priest Tezim and that he might not be altogether human... I feel like this points toward him being a herald as they mention what he does some stuff that cant be explained knowing how everyone believes  that the KR were myths like the void bringers. Pointing out that Emul,Tukar, and Marat were once a unified kingdom of the Silver kingdoms called Makabakam.  Emul  focus on Jezrien being the one and only god not of the heralds and they are fighting Tukar in a the eighties war for either a religious conflict or more likely the control of one of the very few known Dawn cities Sesemalex Dar. Now my theory, I realize that the God-priest Tezim  is the leader of Tukar not Emul who worship him as the only god my reasoning for this is that if Jezrien really is the God-priest Tezim he wouldn't not want to be known to the Emul to reveal himself a herald that mixed with the yet unknown importance of what a dawn-city is and what secrets it could  hide. They mention that they were important in some way or another i personally think they might have some special weapon or some such hidden in them. Every time they are mentioned in the books they are of completely different design and seem to server special purpose not just that they are fought over the world over like in Jah keved as well. could be related to the yet unknown "Dawn shards" that Honor mentions in Dalinar's vision. I think that is why Tezim has pushed for war to reclaim that city and also stay unknown to the Emul  people who worship him who most likely would be able to guess from his features who he really was. (going out on a limb there) This all theorized on the "twisted Herald theory" about sense they broke the Oath Pact everything they stand for like say Nalan and the sky breakers justice twisting it for there own ends.Also remarks about them getting worse in the prologue  of WOR. just some ideas  they do mention that Jezrien had a presence kind like Gavilar Kholin.

  that kingly bearing and all that would make sense that he could make a entire nation fall under his sway. Thus if proven accounting for another one of the Ten heralds and supporting the Twisted Herald  theory. Feel free to pick this apart.Also if this has been done before im sorry i did not search for another thread was just writing down my thoughts.

First of all, welcome to the forums!

 

Tezim is certainly powerful, but I think its more likely that he's an unmade. He doesn't seem to have any attributes that are known to be the attributes of a particular herald, and he seems a little to evil to be a herald. But then, he doesn't seem quite evil enough to be an unmade, so I'm not sure what he is.

It's suspected that the Dawn Cities were created through the use of the "Dawnshards", whatever they are/were, back in the ancient history of Roshar, from the way it's talked about.  

 

As for Tezim, I can't find the reference you mentioned.  I can find when Dalinar talked to Au-nak, Hatham, and the ardent about the Tukari and Emuli, as well as Tezim, but only a brief reference (and that's in Way of Kings, not Words of Radiance).  That certainly doesn't seem to indicate anything special that I can determine.  Can you point me in the right direction (preferably with a chapter, I have ebooks so page numbers don't help much).

its all theory i read the same thing you read.  only thing was there is this theory about the heralds being twisted versions of there former selves and the things they stand for. just did some copper mind  site reading on those country's  and thought it would be a good fit for him as his described regal bearing. thou other reference made in WOR would be shallans POV chapter veil's lesson. again most of this is opinion based on what we know some it from those countries that have only 2-3 pages in all of storm light archive so far. also i am 100% certain that God-Priest Tezim will be a character  of importance as the fact that he draws someone as powerful as Mraize's worry at whatever it is Tezim is doing compared to talking about how Mraize is not worried about Taravangian.

That part with Mraize talking about him is what I can't find.

WOR chapter veil's Lesson  Mraize talking to his henchmen"you will bring these pages to Master Thaidakar. We are close, but so-it-appears-are Restares's cronies" "No im not worried about that one . the old fool sows chaos, but does not reach for the power offered by opportunity. He hides in his insignificant city, listening to its songs , thinking he plays in world events. He has no idea. His is not the position of the hunter.(death rattles being the song, Taravangian being the old fool)This creature in Tukar, however is different. I'm not convinced he is human. If he is , hes certainly not of the local species..."

 

Only thing of note that has been mentioned in Tukar is the Eighty year war between them and Emul the Dawn city  Sesemalex Dar  and only person/creature has been God-Priest Tezim.

Ah, thanks! There definitely seems to be something going on there, and I hadn't put those together yet. Good find, but I suspect we'll have to learn more before we can figure out anything else. I would put my money on something other than a Herald I think, but your reasoning is sound, despite being based on the tiny bit of evidence we have available.

FWIW, Jasnah was in Tukar before moving on to Kharbranth.
 

Danlan [writing for Dalinar] took the pen and twisted the gemstone, then wrote out the words, sending them across the ocean to Jasnah. Was she still in Tukar? After Danlan finished writing, she returned it to the dot at the top left— the spot where the pens were both to be placed so Jasnah could continue the conversation— then turned the gemstone back to the previous setting.

 

“‘ As I expected, I have found my way to Kharbranth,’” Danlan read. “‘ The secrets I seek are too obscure to be contained even in the Palanaeum, but I find hints. Tantalizing fragments. Is Elhokar well?’”
