== 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.

Due to the contract holders' natures, the spirit of the deal is as binding as the words of the deal. If either party breaks the terms of the contract then they will be in the other's power. Further, if Odium breaks his word then [[Cultivation]] would be able to kill him due to the hole created in his soul.

== Trivia ==
* The Heralds are similar to champions.{{wob ref|9548}}
* While it is theoretically possible for every Shard to have a champion, there are some catches.{{wob ref|4296}}
* 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 it is an echo of one.{{wob ref|15676}}
