Ash, one of the Heralds, is referred to in connection with the honorspren and with Jasnah’s interviews of the Heralds. She is also cited in discussion of Ishar’s condition and possible escape. The text in these entries provides no fuller personal history or physical description, leaving her role here largely in the background.
