Posted April 25, 2019 Scenario time: Lets say you where a herald and you had just died ..... But instead of being tortured on Braize the voidbringers did research on you and decided to send you off somewhere else in the cosmere. To endure the worst that planet has to offer. Basically what I'm asking is what cosmere torture would you not want to endure for four thousand years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2019 My personal worst would be the Pits of Hathsin 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2019 I think seeing moash's corpse in one of the pits would make working there all the better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 25, 2019 Trapped anywhere in Idris. That place would drive me nuts. Not that it’s bad or anything thing, I just couldn’t live there for the rest of my life. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2019 Idris actually sounds rather nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2019 It’s so boring though. There’s no expression of yourself or color. I’m an artist and to me it’s boring. I know people like it, and have no problem with that. I just couldn’t live there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2019 Hands down, Cognitive Realm on Sel. It's not just being burned to a crisp by runaway Investiture and forcibly being reformed over and over again. It's the randomness that would truly heighten the hellish Selish experience. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 26, 2019 The Well of Ascension while Ruin was still there. Boring as heck, and the only way to pass the time risks gaining the attention of an infinite vortex of death and darkness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2019 I'm going with post-Reod Elantris as well. That place drove immortals mad within a few years and you never lose the pain of even the slightest wound, which is worse than what the Heralds had to deal with. Kalak's thoughts in the Prelude imply that the Herald's 'bodies' get repaired each day, so there's at least some time when you're whole and not currently experiencing pain. In Elantris you never have that tiny respite. It's worth emphasizing that while the Heralds might have endured hundreds of years of torture at a time (up to five thousand years in one go, for poor Taln on his own) they still retained at least the appearance of sanity, while the Elantrians who went through the Reod were insane within ten years, even if Riino clearly recovered afterwards. Take that away and being a Reod Elantrian for thousands of years would really really suck. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2019 I would be surprised if their spirits can be taken off world for any reason but returning to Roshar’s physical realm. In answer to your question, if Braize broke the heralds and the fused, it’s probably the worst place in the cosmere 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
