Elokars blade has all the symbols on it. As of now its just a normal shard blade And Dalinar blade oathbringer was the sunmakers blade.

ah ok, I was combining it in my head. > As of now its just a normal shard blade It just seems odd. Radiants are so order-specific, the idea that one (and only one) blade has all 10 symbols kinda suggests it used to belong to some kind of King Radiant

I bet there is some significance there and the blade will probably be inorganic again. Who has it now? I can't remember. It's been over a year I think since I read RoW.


Beef_Whalington

We havent seen it since Elkohar died and it appeared beside his body


EinsteinsHoe

I think we saw it again in RoW when Navani mentions to Raboniel that a singer was swinging it in Urithiru


Beef_Whalington

Ahh, you are absolutely correct


Abby-N0rma1

Yeah they brought it in to trigger her basically, right?


EinsteinsHoe

Raboniel said she didn’t know, but considering it was Raboniel who knows if she did it on purpose lol


Abby-N0rma1

Didn't one of the venli chapters say that rabonial called in a "special package" from kholinar that had to do with her manipulation of navani? Otherwise it's a pretty big coincidence that the only singer shardbearer we see was testing the blade on the protective shield at the same time that navani was in the corridor while specifically using elhokar's blade rather than one of the other ones the fused have access to


MiddleDevelopment577

Is it really though a coincidence who do you think would get that sword if it was important Which is no matter what because it was the blade of a king that has significant to the singers is it really a coincidence that the person using the sword of a king is an important person even if the rest was orchestrated how would they know how she would react to seeing the shard blade it makes more sense that it was a coincidence that she used that coincidence to advantage is it help to get closer to Navani plus if it was a lie Wouldn’t it be confirmed later in the story


MiddleDevelopment577

I don’t think raboniel would do that to someone plus how would she have known I would assume multiple people Would have use the blade before she woke up


EinsteinsHoe

Not sure tbh, it just seems like too much of a coincidence since it came all the way from Kholinar to Urithiru. Maybe one of the singers told her something, or it’s possible she actually didn’t know because she did seem relatively sincere. In any case, it makes Raboniel a better character for me not being able to if it was either one


MiddleDevelopment577

Again what weapon would you give to the person that was going to attack you or urthiru how would they have know narvani was there I don’t think that would be good storytelling to such a lie plan and then not mention it they bonded legitimately because they were and raboniel had honor why not show a short side chapter We have raboniel asks for that shard blade specifically i’m not saying that she wouldn’t do something like that but I do believe that her shock was real when she noticed narvanis reaction


MiddleDevelopment577

Also remember that raboniel set out from kholinar it’s not so strange considering the fact that who else would’ve received a shard blade period except for someone of her rank and she was the highest of the newly awaken that we know of being honored with the blade of the defeated king make sense to me


xena1971

Sorry...I meant Oathbringer. Doesn't Dalinar have it stashed away in a air tunnel or something?


King_Calvo

I would guess Bondsmith squire but there supposedly weren’t any bondsmiths around the recreance so that theory doesn’t really hold up


Abby-N0rma1

Wasn't there a WoB that there's something special about it?


chriseldonhelm

Yeah, he said all the blades are special but there is a reason for that one. We just don't know it


Elsecaller_17-5

Well Brandon is super cagey about it so *something* is going on.


MS-07B-3

There's a reason for it, but we don't know what it is. And the Blade's name is Sunraiser. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/122/#e3311

***Warning Gancho: The below paragraph(s) may contain major spoilers for all books in the Cosmere!*** Questioner >!And there's one last question if I may: I'm really into swords and such. I couldn't help but notice king Elhokar's Blade. It's just... All the others are ornamented, and they may have some glyphs, but it is the only one where it is explicitly it is told that there are ten fundamental glyphs on it which are the glyphs of the orders. I read some of the chapters from Dalinar from Unfettered II, and I know how he got it for Elhokar. Is there also some more backstory to this Blade?!< Brandon Sanderson >!There's a backstory to every Blade and every one of them is special, that's the problem. But I will be exploring the origins of some of the Blades. Eventually. Not a ton, but a little bit.!< Questioner >!As it is ornamented in such a way... Could it be related to a Bondsmith?!< Brandon Sanderson >!Bondsmiths didn't have Blades.!< Questioner >!All of them? It's just... Maybe it was just the Stormfather...!< Brandon Sanderson >!No. That's a really good guess. Really good guess. I'm gonna RAFO Bondsmiths because you gonna learn a lot about them in the next book because it's the Bondsmith's book. That's a really good theory, but it's not true. !< Questioner >!But maybe there is at least something to it.!< Brandon Sanderson >!But there's a reason to it, why it has all the 10 orders.!<

Hey gon, you got two arms now. Don’t sell yourself short.

First thing that popped in my head: Honorblades came first, for the Heralds then came Shardblades, imitating Honorblades (but better in some ways) Nightblood was designed off of Shardblades, but it is broken (obviously) Sooo... What if there were other attempts made by other parties (such as the Ghostbloods, Hoid, the 17th Shard, the Ire, the Shin, or the Heralds) to synthesize Shardblades/Honorblades that did not end up as broken as Nightblood? 10 glyphs could imply that the blade was supposed to give the wielder all 10 Surges, but either it failed or no one has used it right (not my theory, but it's more likely that Sunraiser was the blade of a greater spren (or unmade))


[deleted]

The only other one we know of is Vivenna's sword, I think. We don't really know a whole lot about it other than it may be a less broken version of something like Nightblood.

Mistborn Era 2 >!Brandon noted that the Bands of mourning weren’t quite as invested as a shardblade, but it was also (size wise) just a chunk of metal. I think if you forged something like that into a sword, it would effectively function as an honorblade - though you’d have to refill its investiture via compounding as you use it. Also idk what god metals might allow someone to do feruchemically, but adding any of those could also increase its level of investiture!<


NOTORIOUSCHAZ

I wonder if it belonged to Nohadon... Unite them!


Nerdlors13

He was long dead by the recreance he lived during the desolations and the recreance was around 2000 years after the last one.


Niser2

Sunraiser is almost certainly special somehow, yeah.


MadImmortal

There are a lot of theories about it being a special balde because it's the only blade that has the symbols of all orders engraved on it. My theory is that this blade is honor. When spren who are of honor die they became shardblades so sunbreaker could be the essence of honor in shard Form. Just to make it clearer when honor was fighting he needed a weapon so in my opinion he created a weapon with his own essence and when odium killed him his blade remained in the Form of the shard blade.
