{{item \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] }}{{uncanonical}} [[Gavilar Kholin]], the former king of [[Alethkar]] on [[Roshar]] and a member of the [[Sons of Honor]], possessed a collection of unusual spheres. Notably, he had several '''black spheres''' that glowed with a dark violet light.{{book ref\|sa4\|prologue}} ~~The '''black sphere''' is given to [[Szeth]] by [[Gavilar]] just before his death.{{book ref\|sa1\|prologue}}~~ * For the sphere he considered "most important"{{book ref\|sa4\|38}} and gave to [[Szeth]], see '''[[Anti-Voidlight]]''' The sphere is small, crystalline, and tied to a chain. It glows with a black light, although it is completely dark.{{book ref\|sa1\|prologue}} Galivar says that Szeth must take it so that the [[Parshendi]] do not get hold of it. The light is different from Stormlight and is related to a different [[shard]].{{qa ref\|1078\|9\|Stormlight and 'Voidlight'\|date=2013-10-14}} * For the sphere he gave to [[Eshonai]], see '''[[Voidlight]]''' or '''[[Lights#Voidlight]]''' ~~Szeth~~A ~~hid~~[[Bav]] ~~the~~worker named [[Took]] claimed to have stolen a similar dark sphere infrom ~~Jah~~the ~~Keved~~[[Nightwatcher]].{{book ref\|sa1\|interlude\|3}} Took was known to exaggerate, and his story may be apocryphal. ==Trivia== We are aware of a second black sphere that was in Gavilar's possession, then given to [[Eshonai]], creating the catalyst needed for the Listeners to purchase Szeth and employ him as their assassin. The whereabouts of this second sphere are currently unknown. {{tor ref\|2017/08/22/oathbringer-brandon-sanderson-prologue/\|Oathbringer prologue on Tor.com\|date=2017-08-22}} *The Anti-Voidlight sphere given to Szeth was first mentioned in the prologue of ''[[The Way of Kings]]'' in 2010. Fans often speculated about the contents of Szeth and Eshonai's spheres as subsequent books were released, usually theorizing that it was Voidlight or an [[Unmade]].{{wob ref\|10582}}{{wob ref\|10285}} Brandon remained cagey on the subject{{wob ref\|9515}}{{wob ref\|10582}} and it was a decade until the contents of the spheres were confirmed in ''[[Rhythm of War]]''. == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 02:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)}} ~~{{stub}}~~ {{Stormlight}} [[es:Esfera negra]]
