The '''Nightwatcher''' is a powerful [[spren]] on [[Roshar]]. She is a [[Splinter]] of [[Cultivation]] and grants boons and curses to mortals through the [[Old Magic]].{{book ref|sa3|114}} She is one of the three potential [[Bondsmith]] spren.{{book ref|sa4|46}}
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|sa1|i|7}} Because of the Nightwatcher's ethereal nature and ties to a single location, the [[Valley]], she is considered by many to be a powerful [[spren]].{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa2|6}}{{book ref|sa2|24}}{{book ref|sa2|41}} It is surprisingly common for devoutly Vorin [[lighteyes]] to go to the Nightwatcher at one point or another over the course of their lives.{{book ref|sa1|61}}
She does not always appear to those seeking her, having a tendency to avoid groups and likely [[worldhopping|foreigners]] like [[Felt]]. Supposedly, the best time of day to visit the Nightwatcher is right after the sun sets.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
