<p>Cosmere/Stormlight red-link fill, book-canon (Corvus)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Damnation&#039;&#039;&#039; is a place in the cosmology and religion of Roshar in Brandon Sanderson&#039;s [[The Stormlight Archive]]. In Vorin belief it is a realm of torment, and it has a literal counterpart in the history of the [[Heralds of the Almighty|Heralds]] and the [[Desolations]].<br /> <br /> == In Vorin religion ==<br /> In [[Vorinism]], Damnation is conceived as a place of punishment, contrasted with the paradise of the Tranquiline Halls from which humanity is said to have been cast out. Vorin teaching frames existence as a struggle to prove oneself worthy of helping reclaim the Tranquiline Halls rather than being consigned to Damnation.<br /> <br /> == The Heralds&#039; torment ==<br /> Damnation has a more concrete meaning in the history of the [[Desolations]]. When a Herald died in battle against [[Odium]]&#039;s forces, their soul was drawn to a place of torture, identified with Damnation, where Odium tormented them. So long as the Heralds endured this agony without breaking, the next [[Desolation]] was held back. The Heralds eventually abandoned this burden, leaving only [[Talenel]] to bear it, for thousands of years, alone.<br /> <br /> == The world Braize ==<br /> In the wider [[Cosmere]], the torment associated with Damnation is connected to another world in the Rosharan system, sometimes identified with the planet Braize, where [[Odium]] and the spirits of the enemy were confined between Desolations. The mythic and the literal meanings of Damnation are thus closely intertwined in Rosharan history.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Desolations]]<br /> * [[Odium]]<br /> * [[Talenel]]<br /> * [[Vorinism]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:The Stormlight Archive]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
