Knight of Iron

"Of course," Fresco said, taking a seat.

Cavalier has found some sticks in the cave and announces, "I found some sticks in the cave."

Fresco stands straight and follows the soldier.

Exodus pulls off his sheathed sword, still sheathed, and begins to retreat for cover.

There most certainly is. It's pretty much confirmed they are the Ten Heralds, plus an unconfirmed eleventh, believed to be Hoid. According to the Coppermind, we don't know much about it. It's only a theory that the Heralds depicted have something to do with the chapter. Here's a table of all of them. None I know of have deciphered the pattern yet, but with Brandon it's not random. https://coppermind.net/wiki/The_Way_of_Kings/Headings EDIT: And... there most definitely has to be meaning, right? I mean, the epilogue is Taln and Hoid. And the pictures for it are Taln and Hoid. And, like, every single Kaladin chapter has got at least one Jezrien in it. There's something going on.

Fresco nodded. "Thank you, good sir."

Fresco was growing a tad frustrated. "Is there anyone else who could give me a recap?"

"Where is she now? Are we going to rescue her?"

Fresco sighed. "Anyone that could give me a quick recap on how this all started? You showed up here, decided to overthrow the government, and the government is trying to deal with that?."

"Facing an unknown enemy is defeat," said Fresco, "When you know your enemy, then you've as good as won the battle."

"The line gets too short, and die," is definitely the definition of the defined Swiss cheese scrolls

"The line gets too short, I'll die" is definitely the definition of the Swiss cheese scrolls

"Hmm," said Fresco. "Is there any way I can study the enemy? Books, battles, etc.?"

"The line gets too short, I'll die" is probably the definition of the holey cheese scrolls.

Cavalier scrambled together some sticks and moss from the cave for bedding.

"Ah, I remember an old military tale..." Fresco frowned. "Actually, no I don't. But point is, I know from experience that if the enemy lies in the mountains you're surrounded by, then the defenders at the bottom of the mountains are just sitting ducks."

"Surrounded by mountains," Fresco mused, "In one way, a strategic advantage. In another, a major disadvantage. What kind of weaponry would these defenders have?"

Cavalier spots an oddly placed bush sticking from the side of the mountain. He ran over there quickly and investigated. "Here," he called, "A small cave."

"What does this mean, exactly? That we're surrounded. Do they have armies around this place or something? There's no escape?"

Exodus looked to the dragon. "It doesn't matter how I know of your kind. Unless you can tell me where I must go, though it sounds like you wouldn't know." Exodus turns to the Shadow. "I can't trust you, unfortunately."

"Ah, so we do plan to assassinate this Wyrn?"

"Hm. And is this enemy... religious of some kind?"

"Name one reason they wouldn't be spying on us."
