Shalash was chosen by the [[Shard]] [[Honor]] to be one of his Heralds. This relationship was the formation of the [[Oathpact]] and as part of it Shalash received one of the [[Honorblade]]s in exchange for her service.{{qawob ref|1080|152898}}{{qawob ref|1112|186446}} The circumstances of how this came to be is unknown, but there are stories about [[Proving Day]], during which the Heralds faced difficult, if not impossible, tasks to prove themselves.{{book ref|sa1|5}}

Following the formation of the Oathpact, Shalash and the other Heralds spent several thousand years helping the people of Roshar fight the [[Voidbringer]]s in battles called [[Desolation]]s. Preceding each Desolation the Heralds would return to Roshar and have a short time to prepare them for said Desolation, teaching them any necessary technology they may have lost in the intervening time. The level of technology the Heralds returned to varied with each Desolation, in some cases the Rosharans had not progressed past the Stone Age.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}}{{wob ref|1430}} At the end of each Desolation, if Shalash did not "die", she, along with any other surviving Heralds, was required to leave Roshar and return to what is believed to be [[Damnation]] or risk triggering another Desolation.{{qawob ref|1080|102893}}
