Unlike most other dead Shardblades, Oathbringer appears to have some degree of awareness of its surroundings. According to the [[Stormfather]], it remembers the day Dalinar bonded it, as well as the day he discarded it, and his reasons for doing the latter. Because of this, it reacts to his touch far less violently than other dead Blades.{{book ref|sa3|28}} |

Oathbringer |
Sadeas holds Oathbringer for little over two months, until shortly after the [[Battle of Narak]]. When [[Adolin Kholin]] kills him for threatening his family one time too many, he drops it, and Adolin tosses it to a balcony below while trying to hide the murder.{{book ref|sa3|89}} It's later discovered by Bridge Four on a patrol and given to Dalinar, who keeps it for a short while without bonding it before giving it to [[Ialai]], Sadeas' widow. She bestows the blade on [[Amaram]], who bonds it.{{book ref|sa3|28}} |
||
Oathbringer is carried by Amaram until the battle of [[Thaylen City]], where he is shot to death with a [[Grandbow]] by [[Lunamor]]. As the latter refuses to take up Amaram's Shards, the blade is once again reclaimed by Dalinar, who chooses it as the namesake for his book, but does not bond it again as per the [[Stormfather]]'s wishes.{{book ref|sa3|22}} |
|||
==Trivia== |
|||
* A drawing of a Shardblade with a hooked tip in [[Shallan's sketchbook]] is often mistaken for Oathbringer, but [[Ben McSweeney]] has confirmed that it is a different Shardblade.{{wob ref|13649}} |
