{{image|Battar by
Battar was born on [[Ashyn]] and escaped to [[Roshar]] when her homeworld was destroyed in a [[Surge]]-induced catastrophe.{{wob ref|11945}} She was a figure of some importance during that time, and when the [[Fused]] began to appear, she was made a [[Herald]] by [[Honor]]. Thence she participated in every Desolation, and between Desolations, she would travel to [[Braize]], when she'd be captured and tortured by the [[Voidbringer]]s to get at least one Herald to break and start a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa3|38}}
Eventually, she and the other Heralds grew exhausted with this endless cycle of war and torture. When [[Ishar]] suggested that one person might be enough to hold the [[Oathpact]], she and the others abandoned [[Taln]] to his fate, leaving their [[Honorblade]]s behind. From then on out, they hid among the human populace.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} Most of her actions in the intervening four and a half millennia are unknown.
As Dova, she supposedly approached [[Taravangian]] and warned him of a coming [[Desolation]], which prompted him to seek out [[Szeth]] after King [[Gavilar]]'s assassination.{{book ref|sa3|121}} She has since been assisting the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]]. Sometime prior to Taravangian seizing of the throne of [[Jah Keved]], she reported that the frequency of [[Death Rattle]]s had been declining further, hinting at [[Moelach]]'s movement.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} She was later assigned with writing an anonymous essay revealing [[Dalinar]] and [[Elhokar]]'s decision to make the former a highking, to undermine Dalinar's authority along with the revelations of the translated [[Eila Stele]].{{book ref|sa3|107}} With the fulfillment of the Diagram Taravangian instructed his followers to no longer trust Battar as he feared for her mental state after seeing the other Heralds.{{book ref|sa4|i|3}}

}}
Battar has been worshipped since the [[Silver Kingdoms]] Epoch, with people swearing by her name even in-between the [[Desolation]]s.{{book ref|sa1|19}} In the modern [[Vorin]] tradition, she's known as '''Battah'Elin''', and is associated with the number seven (Betab), the [[Ten Essences|Essence]] of
There is a temple to her in several major Vorin cities.{{map ref|Kholinar}}{{map ref|Thaylen City}} The temple of Battah in [[Thaylen City]] is particularly notable -- it is the oldest in the city, and a must-see location for every arriving dignitary.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
