Firehead13 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) So of the original 10 radiants, we know that one was condemned to torture (Talenel'Elin) and the other nine walked free. Of those nine, we know that one of them continued to roam the world enforcing various laws and maintaining a following (Nalan'Elin). So what happened to the other 8? Did they maintain their powers or just the ability to suck in stormlight? Are they just wandering around somewhere? What do we think/speculate they've been doing for the last several thousand(?) years? Edited October 5, 2015 by Firehead13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 And Jezrien/Jezerezeh/Yaezir does not stop sullying. Poor guy.At least one of the other two male Heralds (presumably Kalak/Kelek) has problems with Szeth wielding an honorblade.I agree to around 95% with this attitude.

hoser he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Welcome! Technically, I think you are referring to the Heralds and not the Radiants. I recommend you change the title of the thread to reflect that, as others may be similarly confused before entering the thread. It is widely surmised that Kelek is the person who appears with Nalan in the beginning of WoR and tWoK. The "drunk" who asks Szeth "Have you seen me?" at the beginning of tWoK is variously thought to be either Ishar or Jezrien. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 There are many Theoryes about the Heralds (not Radiants) current status (and their possible appearances in the first two Stormlight books). Something are:Taln: Tortured from thousands of yearsNal: Judgment on proto-radiant (and probably other criminals) over RosharAsh: Thief job and destroying art.Jezrien: The Drunk man from the WoK's Prologue (not confirmed)Ishi: The "God of Vegetable's City" from the Collector's POV (not confirmed).Kelek: The guy with Nal at the Gavilar's Assasination, he dislike that Szeth had the Jezrien's Honorblade (not confirmed but most likely).Now I don't remember the theorys about the other Heralds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondesu he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I feel like there was a WoB that said we've seen all the Heralds even though we didn't recognize them, but I'm on mobile and don't feel like trying to find it at the moment. We've definitely seen several as mentioned, and it's commonly theorized that the breaking of the Oathpact, or the centuries/millennia since, or something else, has all but driven them mad, or at least some of them. jW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 The point of Palah in the Palaneum is even weaker than on Jezrien and Ishar: it was a woman with a sphere-lantern that walked in front of Shallan. It is possible, but really, this is not much of evidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Brandon did say that all of the Heralds have either been seen/alluded to/mentioned in WoK so take that as you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
