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 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}}
=== 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}} The Tukari people also live in clans.{{book ref|Sa4|36}}
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 ===
The Tukari are highly militaristic. 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}}
The Tukari Soldiers in Tezim’s army don’t wear proper uniforms, they are seen wearing hogshide battle leathers with hardened cuirasses painted a dark blue. Most of them are armed with spears, though some of them have steel swords.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
The Tukari Military is highly mobile with [[Ishar]] being able summon perpendicularities and hop in and out of Shadesmar.
