'''Oathbringer''' is the name given to a [[deadeye]] [[peakspren]]{{wob ref|13996}} [[Shardblade]] closely associated with Brightlord [[Dalinar Kholin]].{{book ref|sa1|13}} Other wielders include [[Sadees]], [[Tanalan's father]], [[Torol Sadeas]], and [[Meridas Amaram]].

The [[Shardblade|Blade]] is six feet long, slightly curved and a handspan wide, making it broader than most of its kind.{{book ref|sa3|28}} It has wavelike serrations near the crossguard, and curves like a fisherman's hook near the tip.{{book ref|sa1|13}}{{book ref|sa2|5}} The hilt is long enough to allow the wielder to use both hands, even while wearing gauntlets.{{book ref|sa1|65}} While in the possession of Brightlord [[Dalinar Kholin]], Oathbringer has a [[Polestone#Heliodor|heliodor]] set into its pommel,{{wob ref|4976}} possibly after a previous gemstone was cracked in battle.{{book ref|sa3|75}} This is notable as heliodor is the polestone of the [[Radiant]] [[Order of Bondsmiths]], of which Dalinar is the first since the [[Recreance]].{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa2|89}}

Prior to the [[Day of Recreance]], Oathbringer belonged to a [[Knight Radiant]] of the [[Order of Stonewards]].{{wob ref|13996}}

Oathbringer was the Shardblade of the infamous [[Alethi]] king [[Sadees]].{{book ref|sa3|11}} After his death, it was passed down through various owners until eventually ending in the hands of the elder [[Tanalan's father|Highprince Tanalan]].{{book ref|sa3|11}} Brightlord [[Dalinar Kholin]], aged twenty at the time, defeated the [[Highprince]] at the [[Rift]]; the younger [[Tanalan]], who was only seven years old at the time, briefly attempted to defend his father with Oathbringer before Dalinar took for himself and bonded it.{{book ref|sa1|13}}{{book ref|sa3|11}}

Dalinar wielded Oathbringer for many decades and in a number of battles, including the unification of [[Alethkar]], the second conflict at the Rift, and the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa3|75}}{{book ref|sa1|13}} Following the [[Battle of the Tower]], he traded it to [[Torol Sadeas]] for all of Sadeas' bridgemen in order to keep his promise to [[Kaladin]] and the rest of [[Bridge Four]]; that he would free them for saving the life of him and his men.{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa1|68}}

Sadeas held Oathbringer for a little over two months, until shortly after the [[Battle of Narak]]. When [[Adolin Kholin]] killed him for threatening his family one time too many, he dropped it, and Adolin tossed it to a balcony below while trying to hide the murder.{{book ref|sa3|89}} It was later discovered by Bridge Four on a patrol and given to Dalinar, who kept it for a short while without bonding it before giving it to [[Ialai]], Sadeas' widow. She bestowed the blade on Highprince [[Meridas Amaram]], who bonded it despite already owning a different Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|28}}

Oathbringer was carried by Amaram until the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], where he wielded two blades simultaneously before being shot to death with a [[Grandbow]] by [[Lunamor]]. As the latter refused to take up Amaram's Shards, the Blade was once again reclaimed by Dalinar, who did not bond it again as per the [[Stormfather]]'s wishes. Dalinar chose Oathbringer as the namesake for his book.{{book ref|sa3|22}}
