    Interview: Mar 19th, 2014

    Question ()

    What caused a Desolation to end? Was it just the defeat of Odium's forces? Because the Desolations start when the Heralds break under torture.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Because the Heralds can no longer be in existence. There is a certain period of time that they can be there, and after that, if they're there, they will start a new one. So the Heralds do need to leave for a Desolation to end.

    Question

    Oh. So they've got a time limit.

    Brandon Sanderson

    They do. Otherwise the Desolation will start again. What they discovered is not all of them have to. As long as one remains, the Desolation will not start again.

    Question

    So, by the nine leaving, did that actually break the Oathpact for them? Did it change the cycle of Desolations?

    Brandon Sanderson

    They have not completely broken the Oathpact, despite what they may think.

    Interview: Nov 28th, 2015

    Shawn M. Halverson (https://www.facebook.com/groups/270545169744383/permalink/731811053617790/)

    So I just got back from the book signing Brandon held today, I asked him about the time between each of the original 99 desolations.

    Brandon Sanderson

    It turns out that the number 99 in the stories was made up, and that there were much fewer of them. He also then stated that the cosmere runs along a 10,000 year gap and that Roshar falls right into the middle of the timeline. He ended with "That should give you a perspective of the timeline and events of the desolations". I figured that if anyone wanted to know a bit more of Roshar's history they might find this interesting.
