Vasher moved to Roshar, the only planet he had been to besides Nalthis.{{wob ref|3519}} His main purpose in returning to Roshar was to have easier access to the [[Investiture]], in the form of [[Stormlight]], that he needed in order to survive.{{wob ref|4553}} He partially walked and partially took a vehicle to get from Nalthis to Roshar,{{wob ref|8168}} making use of a caravan running between the two planets.{{wob ref|11992}} He took on the name '''Zahel'''; he intentionally chose a name similar to the word "[[Nahel bond|Nahel]]", which means "connection to the divine" in Alethi, to hint at his Returned nature.{{wob ref|12060}} Zahel became aware of the [[Purelake]] at some point and told Nightblood about it and its "magic fish", though it is not known whether that happened during this trip or an earlier one.{{book ref|sa3|90}} Due to a "falling out," Vasher was separated from Nightblood after arriving at Roshar
During the [[War of Reckoning]], he served as ardent and swordmaster in the Kholin warcamp. With encouragement from Adolin, whom he had trained before,{{book ref|sa2|35}} he became the swordmaster for Renarin Kholin.{{book ref|sa2|16}}
Zahel appreciated Renarin’s enthusiasm, obedience, and willingness to look foolish for the sake of training. He also offered to train Kaladin in using Shards and defending himself from Shardbearers in order to better protect the Kholins. He tested Kaladin by sparring with him; he recognized Kaladin's skill and tenacity, but still felt that he needed more training to be fully effective.{{book ref|sa2|18}} Kaladin didn’t accept the offer at first, but came asking for it after the attempt on the king’s life; he brought three more men from Bridge Four to train with him. Most of the training was given by [[Ivis]], another ardent.{{book ref|sa2|44}}
