Captain Kaladin Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Maybe I'm a little jumpy about how important random characters are in stormlight (not without reason) and also, I think Brandon has already confirmed all the Heralds we've seen so far, but while listening to the Axies the Collector interlude in WoK I was thinking about the beggar and how he has a strange god complex. Is it possible that this is one of the heralds with their own special kind of insanity stemming from being treated as a god both by people in the desolations and by the people of modern Roshar? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. We know where Nale, Ishar, Taln and Jezrien are/were. Kalak's the only one missing, and his insanity doesn't fit the beggar's version of insanity.

Toaster Retribution he/him Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I would believe this if it wasnt for the case that we know where all the male Heralds are: -Nale is killing Radiants and making badly informed decisions thanks to Ishar. -Ishar is ruling Tukar while informing Nales bad decisions and writing threatening letters to Dalinar. -Kalak is presumably the guy partying with Nale in the prologues. We dont have that confirmed though, but, yeah. If the beggar is a Herald, it has to be Kalak, but I doubt it. -Jezrien took up begging, but in Kholinar. He later took a dagger to the chest in the scene that made everyone love Moash. -Taln is currently with Ash, in whatever place Jasnah keeps them. I do think the beggar might be significant though. The entire Axies interlude is very wierd, probably the wierdest we have had. Edited September 10, 2019 by Toaster Retribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantus he/him Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Axis is the only Siah Aimian we've been introduced to so far. While I couldnt say that being such would disqualify him from being a Herald as well, I think from a literary standpoint he's unique enough already.

I believe the OP is suggesting the begar he encounters in the alley where he wakes up, who is mad about him destroying his model city that he presides over as God, could be a herald, not Axis himself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof, you're right. Sorry, I need to read more carefully, thought it was asking about Axies directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia she/her Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I thought so too that the beggar could be a herald. if so, then he has to be Kelek. But the beggar seems far far more crazy then the guy with Nale in the prologue. is it confirmed that the man with nale in prologue is indeed kelek?
