|2=The [[Stormfather|Stormfather's]] description of Tanavast and his relationship to humans.{{book ref|sa1|46}}}}
 
He is described as being a tall muscular man with dark skin and pure white hair. He wore a golden costume of billowing trousers and a coat which came to his waist.{{book ref|sa1|75}} As his shard was [[Honor]] it is likely that he was forced to base his actions on honour and obligations. When asked by [[Dalinar]] if Honor had cared about men's pain, the [[Stormfather]] said that Honor did love mankind, even dying to defend them.

To counter the [[Fused]], he formed the [[Oathpact]] with the ten [[Herald]]s, which bound the Fused to [[Braize]] after death. The [[Oathpact]] is also part of what keeps [[Odium]] captive on [[Braize]] where he could not splinter other [[Shard]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}}{{wob ref|6273}}
At one point in the past he left the [[Stormfather]] with the task of imparting his visions upon [[Gavilar|select]] [[Dalinar|individuals]], to help mankind even after his death.{{book ref|sa2|89}} It is through these visions that he is seen and described.▼

He was eventually killed by [[Odium]]{{book ref|sa1|75}} and Honor was shattered.{{wob ref|9810}} The [[Letters#The_Second_Letter|reply]] states that it has been millennia since one of the vessels has been killed, suggesting his death occurred long before the setting of the [[Stormlight Archive]].{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}}
 
Sometime after the [[Day of Recreance]], but long before the setting of the [[Stormlight Archive]]{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}}, he was killed by [[Odium]]{{book ref|sa1|75}} and Honor was shattered.{{wob ref|9810}}
 
== Abilities ==
As a Vessel, Tanavast originally held as much power as his peers.{{wob ref|1081}} At some point however he was weakened enough to allow [[Odium]] a chance to kill him. Like other Vessels, he had a Shardic future sight, but it was not as strong as that of [[Cultivation]].{{book ref|sa1|75}}
 
Of the different forms of [[Investiture]] found on [[Roshar]], 10ten are connected to [[Honor]].{{cite}}{{disputed}}
 
Due to his shardicShardic intent, his powers were mostly used for ensuring that people kept to their oaths and promises.{{cite}}{{disputed}} This is evident in the way that [[Surgebinding]] depends on a strong [[Nahel Bond]].
 
== Worship ==
}}
 
On [[Roshar]] Tanavast was worshipped as The Almighty. He was called by 10 different names, with the last one being holiest and used only by [[Ardentardent]]s. According to scripture, The Almighty was cast out of the Tranquiline Halls after the [[Day of Recreance]] and thus now resides in the hearts of mankind.
 
== Theories and Speculation ==
It is plausible that his death occuredoccurred on the [[Day of Recreance]], leading the [[Knights Radiant]] to lose their connection to him and abandon their [[Immortal Words|oaths]].{{disputed}}
