As Kalak arrived at the designated meeting spot for all the surviving Heralds, he noticed only Jezrien waiting there. Jezrien had been chosen to stay behind, unsure whether or not Kalak had perished. Kalak then confessed that he could not go back to wherever it was Heralds were meant to go due to the continuous torture they faced. Jezrien agreed with Kalak's sentiments and informed him of the Heralds' decision to end the Oathpact. Apparently seven other Heralds had decided to leave the Oathpact, leaving their Honorblades stuck point down, forming a circle. Kalak and Jezrien left in opposite directions, both their Honorblades left behind with the other seven, leaving Talenel, the only Herald to die in that Desolation as sole bearer of the Oathpact's burdens.[1]
