I even had two spawn nearly simultaneously for 3 total in
Flayer Jungle.

That just happened to me. I hit a simultaneous double ire and then another about 5 seconds later. Pretty crazy. These were all heralds of

Terror as I'd had this game open all day clearing acts when I could and was on a good run of spawning heralds. The second one of these coughed up my very first sunder of this ladder. Finally! Too bad that it wasn't the fire sunder that I wanted.

I just had some similar luck. Was running WSK TZ and got 2 quick ires while heading down to

Baal, and both actually popped Heralds on the way. I got a third ire on the minions and after killing

Baal I decided to go back and clear the rest of WSK, and I ended up getting a 4th ire and both remaining heralds (4 total) to spawn. All in one itty bitty

Terror zone haha. Too bad it was near the beginning of the 30 mins so I didn't really wanna waste the rest of the time chaining to the next zone or sharding.

After being in a sunder drought all ladder, I scored a second one in the same game. It was an all day game. I had two ires stacked when I entered an A2 tomb and instantly spawned two heralds of

Terror. It took awhile to get all that sorted out but the first

Herald dropped me the fire sunder I was looking for. Just in time for the ladder to Wind down to the end.

Still random. There are days you get like only 2 heralds in whole TZ act 1 and the next day i got 3 ires out of a champion trio.

I had a sunder drop in P1, during the first week of ROTW.

Absolutely nothing since, random be thy game...

I've felt the same, last week I did a run through A5 Terrorized and I got one single

Herald the entire time. Haven't had the motivation to do any more

Terror runes since. Seeing this thread makes me a little more hopeful though.

what is a
Herald?
Just click on the word "
Herald" in your own post (or in my post) and you'll get to an article about it that should explain it.

it was like a joke because i didnt seen a

Herald long time so i forgot about him
