I’ve been reading in Kindle but my physical books were just delivered and I’m confused. 
 
The endpapers are beautiful but I’m not sure who they are! Here is what Brandon says in his acknowledgement/preface blurb. 
 

Quote

Donato’s Herald Talenelat is careworn yet triumphant, and I’m thrilled to have his beautiful vision of this character.
 

Miranda Meeks is no stranger to the Stormlight Archive—we love getting to work with her any chance we have—and her Herald Battah is regal and mysterious.

Karla Ortiz, whose work I’ve been a fan of for some time, has given us glorious and nigh-on-perfect visions of Heralds Chanaranach and Nalan.

Lastly, Magali Villeneuve’s Heralds Pailiah and Kelek are stunning and wonderful. Howard Lyon collaborated with her to paint amazing oil versions of these last two, which will eventually be displayed with the others.

Front inside cover with woman in green dress looks like Truthwatcher/Paliah to me. There is a tree branch growing in the background. Logic Spren (looks like storm clouds) are in this painting. But Brandon clearly states that Paliah is not displayed in this book. 
 

Front first page illustration is of a man in purple and blue robes holding a sword with the Willshaper symbol on it — whom I assume is Kalak / Kelek. But again the blurb seems to indicate that these two characters were saved for the next book. 
 

Did someone make a last minute change or am just to tired from staying up late reading last night? 
 

The last page is obviously Nale — a man in uniform with a sword. Signed by Ortiz. (Are those Larkins in the background?)

The last endpaper on the back cover is a stunning painting of a woman with red hair holding a sword (with both hands uncovered *gasp* ) in front of a background of a beautiful stone archway with dust blowing around it. I assume this is the Dustbringer Chanaranach painted by Ortiz. 

I’m thinking that Donato’s Talenelat and Battah by Miranda Meeks were moved to the next book.

Can anyone confirm this?

Wow, I just need need to gush.  The art is so good.  I did not picture pailah like that at all, the goddess of scholars is a BAMF.  Chana and Kelak are simply perfect. Really cemented them as my favorite heralds. I always pictured chana as Athena and she does look like some renditions of Athena,  but thought she'd have shorter hair.  They just seem so right. And Kelak,  man, what a badass.  Wicked honorblade too.
