Apologies if this has been addressed, but I couldn't find anything with search. Sorry on the slight WOR spoilers. I'm not too familiar with the spoiler policies, so if this should be elsewhere, sorry for the extra work MODs. The prohibition against predicting the future is bugging me quite a bit, and I think offers a little insight into the Recreance. Admittedly this is mostly supposition. IIRC, in WOK we are told that prescience is a gift of the voidbringers. Words of Radiance slight spoilers: If you look into the future of Roshar after the Final Desolation, you would presumably see another desolation coming. You know that this is impossible, the Heralds themselves have confirmed that the Final Desolation has occurred, and you know that in the past you were able to actually see the future. There are two conclusions that can be drawn from this. One is that your vision of the future is wrong. If your vision is wrong, something must have happened to change it, and because what you now see is heretical to the heralds, and pro voidbringer, it follows that the enemies of mankind have screwed up our ability to see the future. The second is that the heralds have in fact lied about the Final Desolation truly being the FINAL desolation. If enough KR came to that conclusion, that the highest archetypes of human virtue and divinity have lied about such an important event (out of base cowardice no less), I can imagine a pretty harsh reaction from an order of knights based on Oaths. I can even see this causing the KR to dissolve. I buy this as the cause of the Recreance more than the other explanations that I've seen. As a side note, if I were a Herald, and wanted to hide the same of my violation of the Oathpact, I would need to eliminate the chance of anyone looking into the future and seeing that I was lying. Thoughts?
