Steeldancer he/him Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I listened to the reading of the oathbringer prologue, and it made me remember an issue I had. Does anybody realize the heralds are still around? That was one of the reasons it was such a shock to me when I realized darkness was Nale. But on roshar, other than hoid, why would they want the heralds to return like gavilar and the sons of honor want, if they're already around? Or are they saying they want the heralds restored to their former glory, rather than the rather sorry state they are in at the moment.
nervousnerd he/him Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I assume very few people actually know the true identities of the Heralds. I highly doubt most go around introducing themselves as a herald; and as we saw with 'Taln', they do not necessarily look like what most people expect them to. Everyone expects the Heralds to be off fighting in the Tranquiline Halls and most people probably won't change that belief easily even with proof. As for the Sons of Honor, I'm not entirely sure what they want. I think they believe that bringing back the Heralds will give them power. I don't know if that is ruling power somehow or if it could just be surgebinding again. It did not seem like Gavilar or Amaram believed or noticed the return of the Radiants so that is a possibility.
