Difference between revisions of "Nightblood"

Nightblood was created in a collaboration between [[Vasher]] and [[Shashara]]. It took a thousand [[BioChromatic_Breath|Breaths]] and a very difficult visualization to Awaken steel. After much deliberation, the Command that was decided on was "Destroy evil." Unfortunately, a recently sentient sword doesn'thas no reallyconcept knowof what evil is. The Breaths it inherited decided "evil was someone who would try to take the sword and use it for evil purposes, selling it, manipulating and extorting others, that sort of thing."{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=35}}

The first hours of Nightblood’s life are imprinted upon it, and it cannot get rid of the concepts it learned during that time, such as [[Denth]] being fond of it and Shashara being alive. It is, however, very capable in some ways, able to grow and learn, although it cannot overwrite its initial experiences, ideas and memories,. soSo in its mind, Denth will always be pleased with it, Shashara will always be alive, and Vasher will always be friends with the both of them.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=54}}

Vasher decided the knowledge of how to Awaken steel was far too dangerous and when Shashara didn't agree, he felt it was better to kill her than risk the knowledge getting out.
