Tukar lies in south-western Roshar, on the coast of the [[Southern Depths]] and the [[Aimian Sea]], in the geographical region of [[Makabak]]. It borders [[Emul]] to the north and [[Marat]] to the west, both on rivers. The island chain leading from Tukar to Aimia are possibly under Tukari control.{{map ref|Roshar}} The general climate of the country is unknown. It's likely to be hot and dry, much like the rest of Makabak.

The nations of Tukar and Emul have been in the state of on-and-off conflict for centuries, with the main point of contention being the city of [[Sesemalex Dar]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} The latest iteration of this conflict was [[Eighty's War]], which at the time of the [[True Desolation]] had been going on for six years.{{book ref|sa1|54}} The war was likely initiated by the Tukari god-priest, Tezim, who came into power around the same time. Shortly before the [[Everstorm]], it started to heat up.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} Nonetheless, [[Jasnah Kholin]] spent some time studying in Tukar before coming to [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa1|28}}

 

== Politics and Culture ==

 

The people of Tukar are likely ethnically Makabaki, and thus dark-skinned. Many of them can be found outside their home country, working as mercenaries.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} Tukar itself has numerous [[Soulcaster]]s, which it has put to good use in Eighty's War.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} If they have any [[Shardblade]]s or [[Shardplate]], it's never mentioned, though their military is considered highly capable.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
