| World of Origin | Roshar |
Gavilar Kholin possessed several unusual black spheres. Gavilar had access to an unknown number of these spheres.[1]
He gives one to Eshonai on the day of his assassination and tells her to give it to the Five after a conversation about Parshmen and Parshendi.[2] The sphere given to Eshonai is described as having a dark yet faintly violet glow that she seems to believe is Voidlight.[2]
Later that day, Gavilar gives Szeth a similar black sphere at the end of their fatal duel.[3] The sphere given to Szeth is described as small, crystalline, tied to a chain, and glowing with a black light that he has not seen before.[3] Gavilar says that Szeth must take the sphere so that "they" do not get hold of it; it is unclear to whom he is referring.[3] Szeth later hid the sphere in Jah Keved.[4]
Took drunkenly claims to have stolen a similar sphere from the Nightwatcher.[4]
At the Battle of Thaylen Field, Dalinar Kholin traps the Unmade named Nergaoul in the King's Drop ruby[5] which subsequently glows with a dark, bizarre light.[6] Navani Kholin says it reminds her of a sphere that Gavilar had.[6] Navani does not appear to be aware that there was more than one sphere; she also believes that Gavilar "made" the sphere she saw.[6]
Speculation
Brandon has not explicitly confirmed what the black spheres contain. He has said that the sphere's light is different from Stormlight,[7] related to Odium,[8] and that "it is what Oathbringer implies it is."[1]
The Urithiru gem archive refers to a "strike team" (presumably of Knights Radiant) being sent to imprison Ba-Ado-Mishram, another of the Unmade.[9] Based on the fate of Nergaoul in Oathbringer, this could mean that Ba-Ado-Mishram is trapped in one or more of the spheres.
