=== Creation ===
The Shard of Honor was created, like all others, at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]], and picked up by [[Tanavast]] over ten-thousand years before the rebellion against the [[Cinder King]].{{book ref|sa4|i|1}}{{book ref|tsm|11}} Though the Shards had an agreement to go their own separate ways, he and [[Cultivation]] traveled together to the [[Rosharan system]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|39}}{{wob ref|1169}} However, whatever the actual text of the agreement, Honor did not consider his actions to be breaking it, or exploiting a loophole in it.{{wob ref|10835}} The reason for that could be that Tanavast and [[Koravellium Avast]] were romantically involved.{{wob ref|2786}}
=== God of Roshar ===
On Roshar, Honor and Cultivation became the gods of the [[singer]]s, a native Rosharan species. They also created intelligent spren around ten-thousand years before the True Desolation.{{book ref|sa4|i|1}}
On Roshar, Honor and Cultivation became the gods of the [[singer]]s, a native Rosharan species. An unknown period of time later, human refugees arrived from [[Ashyn]], seeking help after accidentally destroying their own world, and the two permitted them to settle on the planet, likely in the region now called [[Shinovar]]. Unfortunately, along with them came [[Odium]], who by that point had murdered three other Shards -- [[Dominion]], [[Devotion]] and [[Ambition]] -- and was now gunning for either Honor, Cultivation, or both.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{wob ref|11813}} When the relations between humans and singers of Roshar broke down, singers turned to Odium to help them, leading to the creation of the [[Fused]], [[Cognitive Shadow]]s of singers who could be reborn into the bodies of their kinsmen every time they died.{{book ref|sa3|38}}▼

To help the people of Roshar, Honor created the [[Herald]]s, binding ten people to himself and giving them similar resurrective ability, although one that did not require body snatching.{{book ref|sa3|38}} Moreover, he bound Odium to the Rosharan system, making it impossible for him to leave.{{wob ref|7989}} Unfortunately for him, the Heralds abandoned the Oathpact after numerous [[Desolation]]s in the event known as the [[Aharietiam]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} Sometime afterwards, Odium succeeded at [[Splinter]]ing him.{{wob ref|9810}}{{wob ref|9973}}▼

=== Death ===
{{quote
Honor's death, however, was a protracted event.{{wob ref|8144}} Before passing away fully, Honor took some measures to help Rosharans in the future. Chief among them was leaving behind a series of visions to warn of the possibility of the [[True Desolation]], and to leave behind some information that might be helpful.{{book ref|sa1|75}} He prepared the [[Stormfather]] to be his inheritor, and gave him the task of choosing the possible recipients of the visions.{{book ref|sa2|89}} At the very end of his existence, Tanavast was still capable of communicating with humans, but by then he was raving and no longer supported the Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa3|113}}
He died and his Shard was Splintered shortly after the [[Recreance]], around two-thousand years before the True Desolation.{{book ref|sa3|56}}{{book ref|sa3|113}} Tanavast's [[Cognitive Shadow]] merged with the Stormfather, along with the largest portion of Honor's remaining power.{{wob ref|1671}} That remaining power is sufficient to keep Odium bound to Roshar, and the Oathpact ongoing.{{book ref|sa3|57}}{{wob ref|5186}}
