The '''Contest of Champions''' is the result of a contract agreed between [[Odium]] and [[Dalinar]] acting in his capacity as [[Honor]].{{book ref|sa4|112}}
== History ==
The terms of the agreement were reached after [[Urithiru]] was liberated and Dalinar had met with [[Ishar]]. These events as well as [[Rayse]]'s deteriorating control over his Shard seems to have encouraged him to reach a compromise with Dalinar. Dalinar had terms of a contract written by [[Wit]] in advance of his meeting with Odium. The terms as written by Wit were that if Odium's champion won the contest then all of [[Roshar]] would be his. If Odium's champion lost, then he and his forces would have to withdraw from the planet for a millennium. Odium flatly rejected these terms due to his inability to control the [[Fused]] and [[Singers]] without destroying himself in the process.{{book ref|sa4|112}}
Odium then offers a counter proposal. His proposal is that if Dalinar's champion wins then Odium will retreat to Braize for a thousand years and stop contacting the Fused or Voidspren. If he wins, then he will abandon Roshar and free the Singers to make their own peace with the [[Coalition]]. Dalinar rejects this proposal because Wit was adamant that Odium not be released from the [[Rosharan system]] and he feels Honor trapped Odium on Roshar for a reason. Odium, desperate for a deal, pushes him to agree to terms. Odium offers one final proposal, one that will true ending.{{book ref|sa4|112}}

* Some Shards outside of the Rosharan system have had champions in the past.{{wob ref|5286}}
* The fight between [[Marsh]] and [[Elend]] does not count as a contest of champions because it is not formalized enough, but
