Assassination
Gavilar expected to be assassinated, but not by the Parshendi. His suspects included Thaidakar, Restares, and Sadeas, despite being on apparent good terms with Sadeas at the time. Gavilar had a small, strange sphere that glowed with a black light. He wished his brother to know the "most important words a man can say", which Dalinar took to mean the words of the Knights Radiant.Cite error: Invalid <ref>

Shardblade
Gavilar's Shardblade was six feet long with a design along the blade that resembled burning flames that "almost seemed to glow." It is not known who now possesses this Blade.
