|The burdens of nine become mine. Why must I carry the madness of them all? Oh, Almighty, release me.
|A [[death rattle]] collected by the [[Diagram]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|54}} It's possible it refers to Taln.
}}
For the next four and a half thousand years, Taln remained on Braize, being tortured by the voidspren to make him break and allow them to return.{{book ref|sa3|119}} At the same time, the nine living Heralds went on to live among the people of Roshar, hiding their true nature. The only one to recover his [[Honorblade]] was [[Nale]], who also remained in touch with the [[Order of Skybreakers]], eventually joining their order and becoming their leader.{{book ref|sa3|106}}
Over time, their mental state of the Heralds deteriorated. Nale grew compassionless;{{book ref|sa3|115}} [[Kelek]] became paranoid;{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} [[Jezrien]] started to drink heavily;{{book ref|sa3|88}} [[Shalash]] began to track down and destroy her own artwork.{{book ref|sa3|117}} While Shalash and Nale both believed that Ishar remained unaffected, he, too, went mad.{{book ref|sa3|121}} He took over the country of [[Tukar]], becoming its god-priest, and started to swing wildly between megalomania and the desire to end his own existence.{{book ref|sa3|24}}{{book ref|sa3|64}} When Nale came to him with questions about the possibility of a new Desolation arriving, Ishar told him that the return of [[Knights Radiant]] could prompt it, causing Nale to travel the world killing any potential Surgebinders.{{book ref|sa2.5|9}} At some point, perhaps in pursuit of this goal, he and Kalak found themselves in the [[Kholinar palace]] on the night of king [[Gavilar]]'s assassination.{{book ref|sa1|prelude}}
=== True Desolation ===
Sometime around the year 1173, Taln finally broke, and returned to Roshar to proclaim a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa1|epilogue}} He was initially disbelieved by Rosharans, who assumed him to be some random madman, which was further confirmed, in their eyes, by his deranged, near-catatonic behavior.{{book ref|sa2|i|7}} Some of the Heralds, such as Nale, initially refused to believe a new Desolation has arrived, though he was convinced upon seeing the awakening of the [[Parshmen]].{{book ref|sa2.5|19}}
When [[Dalinar Kholin]] sought to bring Tukar into his alliance, Ishar refused him, claiming that instead, it was Dalinar's forces who should bow down to him, and give [[Urithiru]] over to him, which was met with no answer.{{book ref|sa3|24}} At the same time, Shalash was searching for Taln, aware that, if the Desolation has returned, so had he. She was eventually pointed on the right track by [[Mraize]].{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}
Ash and Taln met again during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|117}} After surviving the fighting, Shalash attempted to bring Taln with her to Ishar, but the two were intercepted by [[Jasnah Kholin]] before they could make it to the Oathgates. At the same time, Jezrien, hiding as a drunkard in the captured [[Kholinar]], was killed by [[Moash]] in a way that made him permanently incapable of returning. The shock of it sent Taln and Shalash unconscious.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
