Talenelat'Elin
also known as Talenelat, Taln, Talenel, Talmut, Stonesinew
The bowed, whispering man in Dalinar's monastery for the insane — and, in Amaram's hands long enough to lift one hand and snatch a poison dart from the air mere inches from Amaram's face, then snatch a second from the blowpipe's last shot, then stand briefly tall and straight-backed and inspect the dart with eyes startlingly lucid before dropping them and resuming his mantra. Amaram believes him to be Talenelat'Elin, Herald of War, in dark-eyed disguise; he loads him into his coach for the journey toward Urithiru and takes him from Dalinar. SA:WoR:Ch 88
One of the ten Heralds, invoked as the bearer of all agonies by a bridgeman watching the Parshendi line up to fire on the running bridge crews. SA:WoK:Ch 6 superseded at SA:WoR:Ch 88
Known facts
- snatches-poison-darts-from-the-airWhen a Ghostbloods blowgunner shoots a poison dart at Amaram in the monastery cell, Talenelat — bowed and whispering a moment earlier — snaps one hand up and catches the dart inches from Amaram's face, then his other hand catches the second. He stands briefly straight-backed with startlingly lucid eyes, examines the dart, drops both, sits down, and resumes his mantra. Amaram cannot get him to respond again.SA:WoR:Ch 88
