“His people had once ruled Alethkar. What did he think of all this? ”
Oldbloods are people on Roshar descended from a former royal dynasty of Alethkar.[2][1]
Appearance[edit]
Physically, an Oldblood looks like an ordinary lighteyed Alethi. However, if someone wishes to acknowledge that they are an Oldblood, they wear a blue tattoo on their cheek.[2][3]
History[edit]
Little is known about the origin of the Oldbloods, but they are said to have ruled Alethkar many years ago.[2] In fact, they claim to be able to trace their lineage directly to the ancient Knights Radiant.[4] At some point in history, the Oldbloods were removed from power and no longer present a threat to the current monarchy of Alethkar. People with Oldblood ancestry continue to wear face tattoos as a symbolic acknowledgement of their former rule.[2] However, they do not commonly discuss their connection to the Knights Radiant due to their poor reputation following the Day of Recreance.[4] Some Oldbloods may also feel an elevated sense of loyalty to the throne since they once held it.[5]
Known Oldbloods[edit]
- Teleb[6]
- One of Dalinar Kholin's battalionlords during the True Desolation[7]
