TheseOathgates are [[fabrial]]s that manipulate the [[Surge]] of [[Transportation]]. Together, they form a network of gateways with [[Urithiru]] at its center, allowing for near-instantaneous travel between all corners of the world, and letting people unable to fly access to the tower-city itself. They can only be operated by someone wielding a living [[Shardblade]], such as a [[Knight Radiant]],{{book ref|sa2|86}} or with an [[Honorblade]].{{book ref|sa3|16}} They require [[Stormlight]] to work, although they can be made to use [[Voidlight]] through methods known to [[Odium]]'s forces.{{book ref|sa4|49}}{{book ref|sa4|55}} Transportation of more than one person requires more Stormlight than what the Oathgate can normally hold in its ten [[gemstone]] lanterns.{{book ref|sa2|87}} The amount of Stormlight needed also depends on the Radiant, as those of higher oaths require less to activte the fabrial.{{book ref|sa4|23}}

The origin of the Oathgates is unknown, although they may have been constructed during the [[Silver Kingdoms]] epoch, as they link the capitals of those ancient nations.{{book ref|sa2|60}} The Oathgate spren chose this transformation willingly.{{book ref|sa4|49}} During [[Aharietiam]], the city of Stormseat was destroyed in unexplained circumstances and its Oathgate was forgotten, although the mechanism remained intact.{{book ref|sa2|86}}{{book ref|sa2|60}}
