Dovahkiin132654 Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 It is possible that Shallan's mother is Chanarach and that killing her actually caused the True Desolation, as per the Coppermind page for Taln, "The Oathpact was made in such a way that the only way for the Heralds to return to Roshar was for them to break at the torture. However, Talenel did not break this time, and it is currently unclear what caused his return..." So, it is possible that what Shallan saw glowing was the "Soul" of Chanarach transporting to Braize. If Taln wasn't the one to break and afawk was the only Herald in Braize, the only explanation is either a loophole in the Oathpact, which is possible I suppose, or that when Chanarach was tortured in Braize she was only able to hold on for a few years. Given the 2,000+ years of recouperation she would have had Ithink this is a real possibility.
