|He loved humankind. He died defending you.

}}

In one of [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s visions, he appeared as a tall muscular man with dark skin and pure white hair, wearing billowing trousers and a waist-length coat, both of which seemed to be made of gold. Dalinar considered this clothing strange, which may indicate that it was from [[Yolen]]&mdash;or it may simply be a reflection of how style had changed since Tanavast recorded the visions.{{book ref|sa1|75}}

Little is known about Tanavast as a person, but the people who met him have an excellent opinion of him. He seems to be the only original Vessel with whom [[Hoid]] has a good relationship, and is, aside from [[Ati]], the only one Hoid ever praises, calling him a decent person.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} The [[Stormfather]] insists that Tanavast did love mankind, even dying to defend them.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Tanavast himself seems to have been highly dedicated to his role as a deity and protective of humanity, even apologizing in visions for getting himself killed.{{book ref|sa1|75}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==
As a Vessel, Tanavast originally held as much power as his peers.{{wob ref|1081}} At some point, however, he was weakened enough that, even with [[Cultivation]]'s assistance, [[Odium]] was able to kill him.{{wob ref|2729}} Like other [[Vessel]]s, he had Shardic future sight, though it was not as strong as that of Cultivation.{{book ref|sa1|75}}

== History ==
=== Before the Shattering ===
Tanavast was born and spent his early life on Yolen.{{wob ref|7939}}{{wob ref|4736}} He was a regular mortal before he Ascended.{{wob ref|14172}}

At some point in the past, likely prior to the [[Shattering]], Tanavast met [[Hoid]], and left a good impression on him.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}

=== The Shattering ===
Tanavast was one of the seventeen people who shattered [[Adonalsium]], after which he Ascended as the Shard of Honor.{{msh ref|3|2}}{{wob ref|4229}} After the Shattering, Tanavast and his lover, [[Koravellium Avast]],{{wob ref|2786}} moved to [[Roshar]],{{wob ref|1169}} and both Shards Invested equally in the planet.{{wob ref|12038}}

-He appears to have loved mankind from the start, convincing the [[Dawnsingers]] to give mankind a home after they fled from Ashyn following its destruction.{{cite}} For unknown reasons, he even turned against the Singers, becoming the god of humanity and abandoning his former followers.{{book ref|sa4|10}}{{book ref|sa4|11}}
-Whenever mankind discovered the truth of the Desolations, he would comfort them and convince them that their fight was still justified. Arguing that it doesn't matter what their ancestors just did, only that they were defending themselves against a present enemy.{{book ref|sa3|113}}
-Late in his life, as his death grew near, he began to go insane, raving about Dawnshards and telling mankind that they would destroy Roshar like they destroyed Ashyn before.{{book ref|sa3|113}} He also came to care more about oaths themselves, rather than the meaning behind it.{{book ref|sa3|111}} This insanity directly led to the [[Recreance]].{{cite}} Yet, despite his madness, he died defending humanity.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
-He was likely not prejudiced against [[Dragon (cosmere)|dragons]], taking [[Koravellium Avast]], a dragon, as his lover.{{wob ref|2786}}{{wob ref|14564}}{{book ref|sa4|114}}{{book ref|sa4|80}}
