ReaderAt2046 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 So apparently there is a WOB now that the Heralds (except possibly Ash) were alive during the human Exodus to Roshar. Which... doesn't seem plausible to me. That would mean that the humans would have to flee to Roshar and settle there, the singers would have to go from accepting humans in to starting a war with them, some of the singers would have to become desperate enough to form the Fused, and the Fused would have to be in circulation long enough for the humans to realize the trouble they were in, all in at most a single human lifespan (and that's assuming that the Heralds were babes in arms during the Exodus, and on the brink of death before swearing the Oathpact, neither of which seems entirely probable). Does anyone know if the Heralds had access to some means of prolonging their lifespan before becoming Heralds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 They probably did, seeing as most sets of Investiture use have some way, shape, or form of extending lifespan, so it's not a stretch to imagine that Ashyn's magic does as well, or Honor/Cultivation saw their potential and gave them the choice to extend their lifespan or not based on character.

That's a good point, especially with the embodiment of passion/anger/hatred stirring things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllNsickly Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Given the last 50 years of Earth’s history, I have zero trouble believing that war can happen inside of a Generation, much less and entire lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
