'''Tukar''' is a kingdom on [[Roshar]]. It's ruled by god-priest Tezim, who is actually the [[Herald]] [[Ishar]] in disguise.{{book ref|sa3|64}} The people of Tukar are called the Tukari.{{book ref|sa1|53}}
 
== Etymology ==
Tukar is derived from Tuk, a local name for the Herald [[Talenel]].{{book ref|sa4|98}}
 
== Geography ==
Tukar lies in south-western Roshar, on the coast of the [[Southern Depths]] and the [[Aimian Sea]], in the geographical region of [[Makabak]]. It borders [[Emul]] to the north and [[Marat]] to the west, both on rivers. The island chain leading from Tukar to Aimia mayare bepossibly under Tukari control, although this is uncertain.{{map ref|Roshar}} The general climate of the country is unknown, though if. itIt's likelikely theto restbe ofhot Makabakand dry, it'smuch likelylike hotthe andrest dryof Makabak.
 
ThereTukar has several settlements, such as [[Torriqqam]] and [[Khathazan]]. Along the Southern Depths, there are noalso knownthe citiestowns withinof continental[[Riqu TukarMar]] and [[Linder Mar]].{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}} [[Icewater]], located on one of the islands off the coast, may belong to it, though this is uncertain. [[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}}

| The war between Emul and Tukar was heating up. Granted, everyone was always saying that. But things '''had''' changed over the last few years.

=== 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}} When the [[Azir|Azish Empire]] began to form, Emul might've joined them, although their status within the coallition, if it even is part of the coalition, is confusing.{{book ref|sa3|65}}{{book ref|sa3|96}}
 
=== The Era of Solitude ===
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]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} The latest iteration of this conflict was [[Eighty's War]], which at the time of the [[True Desolation]] had been going on for six years.{{book ref|sa1|54}} The war was likely initiated by the Tukari god-priest, Tezim, who came into power around the same time. Shortly before the [[Everstorm]], it started to heat up.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} Nonetheless, [[Jasnah Kholin]] spent some time studying in Tukar before coming to [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa1|28}}

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}}

The people of Tukar are typically brown-skinned and have black hair. Their clothes have colours similar to Azish patterns. The cloth is thicker and coarser then Azish clothing. Their outfits are also more enveloping then Azish clothing and have braided tassels that hang low from the waist. This style is common in the south east of Makabak.{{book ref|sa4|30}}
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}} Tukar itself has numerous [[Soulcaster]]s, which it has put to good use in Eighty's War.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} If they have any [[Shardblade]]s or [[Shardplate]], it's never mentioned, though their military is considered highly capable.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
 
The Tukari wear colored bracelets, Dalinar thinks they have religious significance, although he’s uncertain.{{book ref|sa4|98}} At least some of these bracelets are made from cloth, they may also have writing on them.{{book ref|sa4|36}}
 
The Tukari are renowned across Roshar for their mercenaries, their perfumes and their jewellery.{{book ref|sa4|98}} There are many herdsmen in Tukar.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

Tezim is likewise revered as a semi-divine figure, and considered an aspect of godclans.{{book ref|sa3Sa4|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|336}}

| I'd rather have the Emuli anyway. Their soldiers might be less capable, but they’re also… well, '''not crazy'''.
| [[Navani]]{{book ref|sa3|24}}

Tukari in general are considered volatile and crazy by the outsiders, with the [[Alethi]] relieved at not having to ally with them, and [[Szeth]] speculating that they might suddenly abandon their crusade against Emul and go to war with [[Marat]].{{book ref|sa3|24}}{{book ref|sa3|106}} The main way of communicating with them diplomatically is through their scribes, with the god-priest himself rarely, if ever, speaking in person.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
