origin of heralds

[manukos he/him]

where were the heralds chosen from / ascended from and why? 

also where did the honorblades come from ? 
(szeth calls his , "creation of damnation" but i think that this is an exaduration or a curse out of frustration because of what he is forced to do )

We don't know for sure.

Dec, 2010:  Who each of the Heralds are and what their natures were is important.

March 11, 2014:  Were the heralds born on Roshar?   RAFO

Sept 4th, 2014:  Is he Rosharan? Taln is Rosharan. // Native to Roshar. That I have to RAFO. // The Heralds are from the same place that Taln is from.

Feb 17, 2016:  The Heralds do not come from Nalthis, but that is an excellent question.

Apr 8th, 2016:  It is normal for a cognitive shadow to get stuck to places, because they exist through investiture it is normal for them to get tied to an area. This happened with Odium and the two shards on Roshar, Preservation to Ruin, and the Heralds (To Roshar? Braize?).

As for the Honorblades, many have speculated that they are Honor's equivalent of Godmetals like Atium/Lerasium. I haven't managed to find a confirmation, but I have not checked recently
