'''Ishar''', also called '''Ishi''' and worshipped in Tukar as the god-priest '''Tezim''', is one of the ten [[Heralds of the Almighty|Heralds]] in Brandon Sanderson's [[The Stormlight Archive]]. Associated with the divine attributes of pious and guiding and the role of Priest, he is credited in tradition as a founder of religious order on Roshar, including the roots of [[Vorinism]].<br />
<br />
== Role and legacy ==<br />
Ishar is patron of the Bondsmiths, the rarest order of Knights Radiant, and in ancient times was deeply knowledgeable about the bonds, oaths, and spiritual mechanics that underpin Surgebinding. He is remembered as a lawgiver and the originator of much religious structure, and his influence shaped the spiritual life of many Rosharan peoples.<br />
<br />
== Madness ==<br />
Like the other Heralds who abandoned the Oathpact after the Desolation called Aharietiam, Ishar suffered the long-term effects of their broken pact and ancient torment. Over the millennia his mind deteriorated. By the events of [[The Stormlight Archive]], he rules in Tukar as the god-priest Tezim and wages a border war with neighboring Emul, while pursuing increasingly dangerous experiments with the bonds and powers of Roshar, having descended into a perilous form of madness.<br />
