=== Death ===
Upon hearing of Vahr's capture, Vasher saw an opportunity he had been waiting two years for.
=== Legacy ===
While Vahr ultimately failed in his goal to overthrow the government of Hallandren, the people did not forget his promises. When [[Vivenna]] was unknowingly fomenting insurrection, the memory of Vahr's oaths was still fresh in their minds, so they listened and became more rebellious.{{book ref
However, the Idrian crime lords had lost a lot of money to Vahr's failure,{{book ref
However, Vahr's defeat did make Hallandran focus more on their enemies,{{ref|b|wb|c|1}} and Idris was first on that list, so relations deteriorated even further. Idris's main general, [[Yarda]] hoped to rile up whatever remained of Vahr's rebel army, as a few still remained.{{ref|b|wb|C|17}}▼
Vahr also furnished Vasher with hundreds of Breaths, ensuring Vasher's continued life and giving him enough power to once again perform complex Awakenings.{{ref|b|wb|prologue}}▼

== Trivia ==
* Vahr's original name was "Pahn". [[Brandon]] liked the name so much, he named the whole nation of Pahn Kahl after Pahn. However, he felt it would be confusing to have the two of them share a name, so he changed Pahn's name to Vahr.{{
