Nightblood was created by Shashara and Vasher during the Manywar. There were two primary objectives in his creation. Several of the [[Five Scholars]] had previously traveled to post-[[Recreance]] Roshar,{{wob ref|7078}} where they had encountered men wielding Shardblades. Vasher and VivennaShashara were hoping to create an analogous weapon using [[Breath]],{{wob ref|1737}} Investiture from the Shard [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|6539}} The other objective was to create a Type IV Biochromatic Entity{{book ref|wb|51}} something self-aware and intelligent that has never been human. Shashara also wished to prove herself a more skilled Awakener than [[Yesteel]], who had recently developed [[ichor-alcohol]].{{book ref|wb|51}} She devised the specific process through study and experimentation. Creating Nightblood required one thousand Breaths that were forged into the sword. Shashara and Vasher spent a good deal of time in advance considering what Command to give Nightblood, eventually settling on the phrase, "Destroy Evil," which would form the basis of Nightblood's personality.
