Ishar, also known as Ishi'Elin or Tezim, is one of the ten Heralds of the Almighty on Roshar[1] and is patron of the Order of Bondsmiths. Ishar fought in multiple Desolations, defending humankind from the Voidbringers and returning to Damnation between Desolations to be tortured. At Aharietam, Ishar speculated that as long as one of the heralds was in Damnation, the Oathpact would still hold, and along with eight of the other heralds, abandoned Talenel and went into hiding.[2]
In the Vorin tradition he is referred to as Ishi, and known as the Herald of Luck. He is associated with the Divine Attributes of Pious and Guiding.
Ishar was the key guiding force behind the formation of the Knights Radiant, believing that laws and organization were necessary for humans controlling Surges lest they cause untold damage and destroy Roshar, just as they had destroyed their prior world.[3]
Like all heralds, Ishar's name is commonly used as an expletive.[4]
Nale is apparently communicating with Ishar in regards to current events. Ishar has assured Nale that the Voidbringers have not returned.[5] Nale changes his mind when he sees the Everstorm.[6]
