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 [[Ardent|Ardents]]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.
