Inspired by [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|The Way of Kings]] and his encounters with [[Nohadon]] in his [[Dalinar's visions|visions]], Dalinar Kholin felt he should make a record of his life and journey and about how he had changed. The final decision to write the account was made during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], when Dalinar united the three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]] and created a [[perpendicularity]], during which time he could see into [[Shadesmar]]. After the battle, Dalinar asked [[Navani]] to teach him to read, and later write, in the Alethi women's script, breaking with Vorin tradition where a man would typically dictate his writings to a female relative instead of writing it by his own hand.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Three weeks later, after [[Adolin]]'s and [[Shallan]]'s wedding, he started to write the book and titled it Oathbringer, My Glory and My Shame.{{book ref|sa3|122}} Dalinar continued to write and revise the text over the next year. The unpracticed writing done by his large fingers took up more room than usual on the page, leading to a much larger original manuscript than versions done by scribes. After having scribes make some copies of his final version, which he completed during the offensive in [[Emul]], he gave the completed original to [[Jasnah]] and asked her to write the undertext for the book. Despite Jasnah's warnings that she would be both lengthy and thorough in rebutting the arguments in his primarily religious writing, Dalinar insisted that his decision to ask her was part of his oath to unite instead of divide.{{book ref|sa4|101}}
