Ishar was instrumental in transforming this scattered group into the [[Knights Radiant]], although what precisely he used, other than threats of death and destruction upon those who wouldn't obey, is unknown.{{epigraph ref|sa2|42}} During that time, he also sought a way to preserve information between the Desolations.{{book ref|sa3|47}}

And so, the nine agreed to abandon the Oathpact, leaving Taln to suffer alone for over four and a half thousand years.{{book ref|sa1|prelude}} This Desolation came to be known as the [[Last Desolation]], or Aharietiam.
