Oathbringer
Also known as the Blade, his Shardblade, Dalinar’s Shardblade
- Minor
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 17
Oathbringer has the severe beauty of a weapon made too large for ordinary hands: a sweeping length of steel, its hooked tip and rippling edge impossible to mistake. Even in stillness, it seems cold and weighty, more like an oath given shape than a simple blade.

Oathbringer is a Shardblade known by several names, including Sunraiser, and is associated with Dalinar and Elhokar. Its immense, slightly curved form is six feet long, with a handspan-wide blade, rippling serrations near the hilt, and a tip that hooks like a fisherman’s barb. It is a weapon whose striking silhouette makes its presence unmistakable.
Description
Oathbringer is a six-foot Shardblade, long and slightly curved, with a blade roughly a handspan wide. Wavelike serrations mark the steel near the hilt, while the tip curves inward like a fisherman’s hook. It has a cold, formidable presence, and its surface is once described as wet with cold dew.
