The young man nervously fidgeted with the hem of his coat. He needed this job, but the soldier standing before him did not look pleased. In fact, he looked downright angry.
"Have you no experience with any weapon? Not even a knife, boy??" the soldier barked.
"No sir...but I'm a fast learner. My momma said I had a lightning fast head for knowledge. I can tell you anything you want to know about Cairhien!" the young man bragged, before remembering himself and blushing a deep crimson.
The soldier just stared at him a moment. Finally he spoke, "As it turns out, I think we have just the job for you."

The young man stood next to the famed tree, his chest puffed out with pride. He had finally gotten himself into the King's service and didn't even need to hold a weapon!
He smiled at all who passed by and tried to catch their eye. It was his duty to share the wealth of knowledge he had of Cairhien and offer jobs to those in need. He was sure he was going to be the best herald Cairhien had ever had!
Introducing the Cairhien Herald. This man has plenty of information to share about Cairhien and its surrounding lands. Just ask him for INFORMATION about CAIRHIEN. In addition, he will also have jobs for you to complete. Simply ask him about JOBS. These jobs are repeatable and will change from time to time. Similar heralds may be added in other cities in the near future. Adjustments are being made to the smobs in this area.
Please report any bugs or unexpected features to Lorelei.

Heralds will no longer offer jobs to you if you have a warrant in the nation they reside in.
At this time Falme will no longer handle scalps and banners, or award those with a Seanchan Empire warrant. Amador will not work for those with Children or Amador warrants, and Tear will not work for those with Tear warrants. Cairhien, Maradon, and Andor Heralds should be updated by the end of the day. Lugard will remain as is.
