The '''Nightwatcher''' was a remnant of the [[Old Magic]] that was the prevalent religion across [[Roshar]] before the rise of [[Vorinism]].
The Nightwatcher would bless those who sought her out with one blessing of her choosing. In exchange for this blessing, she also bestows a single curse, although this curse very rarely has any obvious relation to the blessing that was gained.{{book ref

"Did I ever tell you what I asked for?" he whispered. ... "Capacity," he whispered. The capacity to stop what was coming. The capacity to save humankind."{{book ref
He wakes up each day with a different level of intelligence. Sometimes he's a genius, sometimes he's an idiot. His boon was Capacity - to be intelligent enough to prepare for the coming [[Desolation]] - which allowed him one day of extremely lucid insanity (The Diagram). Similar to Dalinar, he believes he must unite the people (of Roshar altogether, we don't yet know), but he has definitely taken control of significant territory by the end of [[Words of Radiance]].
|The curse associated with this boon is the intelligence to make the decisions which need to be made while retaining compassion to feel the consequences of those decisions.{{book ref
