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 them and becoming their leader.{{book ref|sa3|106}}
Over time, the mental state of the Heralds deteriorated, due to a combination of their ages, trauma, and possibly other factors.{{wob ref|16301}} Nale grew compassionless;{{book ref|sa3|115}} [[Kalak]] 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.{{wob ref|13634}}
