Running down its sides are the ten fundamental [[glyph]]s, representing the ten orders of [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref\|sa1\|13}} Though hefty, it's light enough to be held in one hand even by a person without [[Shardplate]].{{book ref\|sa3\|83}} However, it's more suited to two-handed wielding, and has a particularly long [[wikipedia:ricasso\|ricasso]] that lends itself to half-swording.{{wob ref\|13259}} == History == Like all dead Shardblades, Sunraiser was once a [[spren]] that became stuck in its current form at the [[Recreance]].{{book ref\|sa2\|88}} Its fate afterwards is mostly unknown, but by the time of [[Dalinar]] and [[Gavilar Kholin]]s' conquest of [[Alethkar]], it found its way into the hands of Highlord [[Kalanor]]. Dalinar defeated Kalanor and gifted the Blade to Gavilar, insisting that the latter save it for his children.{{book ref\|sa3\|26}} Eventually, [[Elhokar]] came to carry the weapon.{{book ref\|sa1\|13}} During the [[War of Reckoning]], it was one of the two King's Blades, alongside Gavilar's [[Firestorm]], and all non-Shardbearer [[lighteyes]] could borrow it for duels and training.{{book ref\|sa2\|56}} Later, early on in the [[True Desolation]], Elhokar took it with him to the besieged [[Kholinar]].{{book ref\|sa3\|83}} As Elhokar died there, it's likely that Sunraiser was found and picked up by one of the [[Fused]] or their servants. == Trivia == * Sunraiser is one of three Shardblades so far to have gotten a canonical depiction in the books, alongside [[Mayalaran]] and [[Firestorm]].{{file ref\|Shardplate.jpeg\|Shardplate Sketches}} * Brandon deliberately wanted Sunraiser's design to be traditional and simple compared to other Shardblades.{{wob ref\|13259}} * While it is significant that there are ten Radiant glyphs etched into it, Sunraiser was not a [[Bondsmith]] Shardblade.{{wob ref\|3311}} == Notes == <references /> {{~~stub~~complete}} {{Stormlight}}
