== History ==
[[File:Fallen from Grace by Soph P.jpg|thumb|right|200px|<center><small>by Soph P.</small></center> [[Hnanan]] giving the knife to [[Moash]]/Vyre]]
The circumstances of the knife's creation are unknown. It was given by the [[Fused]] [[Hnanan]] to [[Moash]] (later known as Vyre).{{book ref|sa3|121}} Hnanan tells Moash that [[Odium]] has tasked him with killing a god; Moash then uses the knife to kill Jezrien.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Moash removes the knife from Jezrien's body,{{book ref|sa3|121}} but the subsequent fate of the knife is unknown. Moash notes that the Fused appear to be afraid of using the knife on Jezrien themselves.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

The knife
Following Jezrien's death, the sapphire set into the knife takes on a "subdued glow". The knife, when removed, trails dark smoke and leaves behind a blackened wound.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
The sapphire in the knife's hilt is specifically for Jezrien.{{wob ref|8798|''Oathbringer'' Glasgow signing|date=2017-12-02}} Whether the use of that specific [[polestone]] is mechanically relevant or only symbolic is unknown.▼

{{theory}}
It has been theorized that the knife is made of Odium's [[Metallic Arts#The God Metals|god metal]], citing its golden/yellowish-white color and the fact that Odium often manifests as a figure in gold and white and his power is often perceived as a golden light.{{book ref|sa3|1}} The metal of the knife is described as unusually bright.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Odium is active on Roshar when the knife first appears in the possession of one of his direct servants, and it is used for a task that Odium specifically requests.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
The knife may share some characteristics with [[Shardblade]]s, which cause a victim's eyes to turn black and burn out with dark smoke.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} [[Nightblood]], an imitation of a Shardblade created using [[BioChromatic_Breath|Biochromatic Breath]],{{wob ref|2650}} leaks black smoke made of corrupted Investiture{{wob ref|7374}} and can cause its wielder's body to turn black.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
