|The judgment of the final storm has come to destroy all men, and only his path will lead to deliverance.
Tukar has several settlements, such as [[Torriqqam]] and [[Khathazan]]. Along the Southern Depths, there are also the towns of [[Riqu Mar]] and [[Linder Mar]].{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}} [[Icewater]], located on one of the islands off the coast, may belong to it. [[Sesemalex Dar]], the capital of Emul, is located on the western border of Tukar, and the Tukari have laid claim to it for generations.{{map ref|Roshar}}{{book ref|sa1|53}} Due to their claim of ownership, there is a strong sense of anti-Emuli irredentism in the hearts of the people, which has led to many separate conflicts over the city over the centuries.{{book ref|sa1|53}}
Tukar has an area of around 702,000 km<sup>2</sup>.{{ref|name=blog634}}
== History ==

}}
=== The Heraldic Epochs ===
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, Tukar was part of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} At some point, Makabakam splintered into smaller states, with Tukar being one of them.{{map ref|Roshar}}
=== The Era of Solitude ===
When the [[Azir|Azish Empire]] began to form, Tukar might've joined them, although their status within the coalition, if it even is part of the coalition, is confusing.{{book ref|sa3|65}}{{book ref|sa3|96}}
The nations of Tukar and Emul have been in the state of on-and-off conflict for centuries, with the main point of contention being the city of [[Sesemalex Dar]]. This was done due to a combination of the religious value ascribed to Sesemalex Dar by both sides, and due to its effectiveness and value as a port city.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}{{book ref|sa1|54}}
When the True Desolation began, [[Dalinar Kholin]] sent messages to both Emul and Tukar, hoping that at least one of them would join his alliance.{{book ref|sa3|12}} Tukar outright refused, with the god-priest demanding that, as an "aspect of the [[Almighty]]", he should be the one in charge of [[Urithiru]] and the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa3|24}}▼
==== Rise of Tezim and the Eighty's War ====
Around {{rosharan date|1167}}, Ishar rose to power as the God-Priest of Tukar. As the leader, he began to lead a new conflict against Emul for control of Sesemalex Dar, known as the [[Eighty's War]]. Shortly before the [[Everstorm]], in {{rosharan date|1173}}, the fighting grew in ferocity.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} At the same time, tensions with [[Marat]] began to rise, leading some to theorize that they may quickly turn their aggression to them instead.{{book ref|sa3|24}}{{book ref|sa3|106}}
=== The True Desolation ===
{{image|Map of Eastern Makabak.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Map of the war in Emul}}
▲When the True Desolation began, [[Dalinar Kholin]] sent messages to both Emul and Tukar, hoping that at least one of them would join his alliance.{{book ref|sa3|12}} Tukar outright refused, with the god-priest demanding that, as an "aspect of the [[Almighty]]", he should be the one in charge of [[Urithiru]] and the [[Knights Radiant]], they quickly refused to submit to his demands.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
During the Desolation, [[voidspren]] began appearing in [[Shadesmar]] in the region equivalent to Tukar.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Nonetheless, by the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], the country is still considered to be neutral in the conflict.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
==== The Emuli Offensive ====
They played a major role in the Emuli Offensive in {{rosharan date|1175}}, fighting against Alethi and Azish forces and the Coalition of Monarchs who were attempting to push the occupying Fused out of Emul.{{cite}} They primarily set up their armies in northeastern Tukar, around the [[Drunmu Basin]].{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}}{{book ref|sa4|111}}{{expand}}
== Politics and Culture ==
{{image|Ishar Endsheet.jpg|side=right|width=250px|[[Tezim]], the god-priest of Tukar}}
The people of Tukar are likely ethnically Makabaki, and thus dark-skinned. Many of them can be found outside their home country, working as mercenaries.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}}
=== Government and Religion ===
Tukar is a theocracy, with their current spiritual and political leader, Tezim, being alternately titled the god-priest, god-king and priest-king.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}}{{book ref|sa3|64}}{{book ref|sa3|65}}
Unlike other Makabaki states, which consider [[Herald]]s to be gods, the Tukari worship the [[Almighty]], much like the eastern nations. Tezim is likewise revered as a semi-divine figure, and considered an aspect of god.{{book ref|sa3|28}} Other titles ascribed to him are "first and last man", "Herald of Heralds" and "bearer of the [[Oathpact]]".{{book ref|sa3|24}} In reality, Tezim is the half-mad Herald [[Ishar]], making those titles somewhat justified.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Though the average Tukari likely don't know his true identity, there are numerous odd rumors swirling about him outside of the country.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}}
=== Military ===
Tukar itself has numerous [[Soulcaster]]s, which it has put to good use in Eighty's War.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} It is not known if they have any [[Shardblade]]s or [[Shardplate]], though their military is considered highly capable.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
=== International relations ===
* [[Riqu Mar]]
* [[Torriqqam]]
== Trivia ==
* At around 702,000 km<sup>2</sup>, it falls between [[wikipedia:Myanmar|Myanmar]] and [[wikipedia:Zambia|Zambia]] in total area.{{ref|name=blog634}}
