Ishar's activities after the [[Aharietiam]] are largely unknown. At some point, he met with Nale and convinced him to hunt down and destroy all nascent [[Surgebinder]]s, believing that tothe letreturn of the [[Knights Radiant]] return would unleash a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa2.5|9}} Also duringDuring that time, he also insinuated himself into the politics of [[Tukar]], enough so to eventuallyand becomebecame its leader, the god-priest, under the assumed identity of Tezim.{{book ref|sa3|64}} As Tezim, he waged [[Eighty's War]] against [[Emul]].{{book ref|sa3|12}}

After the [[True Desolation]] began, [[Dalinar]] contacted Tukar, hoping for it to join the fledgling alliance. Ishar refused, and instead demanded ownership of [[Urithiru]] and fealty from the newly- refounded [[Knights Radiant]]. He was, understandably, denied.{{book ref|sa3|24}} Shortly after, [[Nale]] visited him again, hoping to gain some more understanding as to why the [[Everstorm]] still happened, despite his efforts. What they talked about is unknown, but Nale later decided to abandon humanitymankind and side with the singers.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

He summoned his own [[Honorblade]], which he claimed to have received from Szeth's father before he thanked Ishar for letting him die. Ishar attacked Dalinar, easily defeating the five Windrunners. As Dalinar opened a [[perpendicularity]], Ishar approached him and created a Connection with Dalinar, meaning to steal his bond with the [[Stormfather]] as well as Dalinar's Connection to Odium, in which he sensed Odium's and Dalinar's opposition to each other.{{book ref|sa4|111}} At the last moment, Szeth used Nightblood to sever Ishar's new Connection and then collapse the perpendicularity, which Ishar had been holding open against Dalinar's will. Nightblood was then able to chip a piece from Ishar's Honorblade. Shocked by the damage to his Blade, Ishar opened his own perpendicularity—whichperpendicularity, which the Stormfather was unable to sense—andsense, and fled into [[Shadesmar]] with his men. Once Ishar was gone, Dalinar heard the Herald's voice through the perpendicularity. Sounding much more sane, he informed Dalinar that he could be restored temporarily if a Radiant swore an oath nearbynear him. Ishar claimed to know a way of resetting the Oathpact, and asked Dalinar to meet him in Shinovar, before reverting to madness.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

Ishar had been experimenting on Radiant spren, somehow bringing their cognitive forms into the physical realm and measuring how long they were able to survive—usually mere seconds—thenseconds—and then performing autopsies. The Stormfather was extremely unsettleddistraught byat thethis sightrevelation and called it an abomination.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
