I think that they weakened the Oathpact somehow, presenting Odium with an advantage (whatever it may be). Without a doubt it was weakened. The One Who Connects is right though. It did not break. Odium remained trapped. The Oathpact is still, at least partially, functional. More even than even the Heralds believe. http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1078#23 http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1080#10 Quote WETLANDER Was Odium able to Splinter Honor because the Heralds abandoned the Oathpact? BRANDON SANDERSON Good question. Um, their abandonment of the Oathpact is related... but mostly tangentially. If I was pinned down on that, I would say no. WETLANDER Is there any of the Oathpact still functioning because of Taln's continued participation? BRANDON SANDERSON Yes, indeed. TAGS heralds , honor , odium , oathpact Quote QUESTION () What caused a Desolation to end? Was it just the defeat of Odium's forces? Because the Desolations start when the Heralds break under torture. BRANDON SANDERSON Because the Heralds can no longer be in existence. There is a certain period of time that they can be there, and after that, if they're there, they will start a new one. So the Heralds do need to leave for a Desolation to end. QUESTION Oh. So they've got a time limit. BRANDON SANDERSON They do. Otherwise the Desolation will start again. What they discovered is not all of them have to. As long as one remains, the Desolation will not start again. QUESTION So, by the nine leaving, did that actually break the Oathpact for them? Did it change the cycle of Desolations? BRANDON SANDERSON They have not completely broken the Oathpact, despite what they may think. TAGS desolations , heralds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
