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 was the Shardblade of the infamous [[Alethkar|Alethi]] king [[Sadees]] the Sunmaker.{{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}} Dalinar, aged twenty at the time, defeated Tanalan 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
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.
