Blightsong he/him Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 A comment on r/BrandonSanderson just hit me right in the feels.... Vasher basicly did everything, including killing his own wife, to stop the creation of living weapons only to find a planet that has thousands of them. Everything he did is more or less in vain... Heartbreaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unhinged he/him Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I wouldn't go that far, there are only a couple hundred shardblades on Roshar that can be used by anyone and any other blades could only be wielded by Radiants who would not be very likely to use them for ill. Also WOB says that nightblood is even stronger than a normal shardblade so Vasher did manage to keep an especially dangerous living weapon out of common hands.

ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm with Unhinged on this. I think it has been said that Nightblood is far stronger than an average sprenblade (I'll see if i can find the WoB) so he actually didn't do too bad. Although, now it is in the hands of someone far worse... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Invictus he/him Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Ah, but Nightblood is a soul-eating sociopath, whereas Shardblades are nature-spirits given physicality. There's a (pardon the pun) world of difference, between the two types of weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 True, it is more a corrupted version. Vasher probably doesn't care that much about Roshar's people in general given the low number of shardblades. He's probably more corcerned with tracking Nightblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VindicationKnight he/him Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Everything he did is more or less in vain... Heartbreaking. Not really, Roshar might be a mess but he still protected Nalthis and saved hundreds if not thousands by preventing war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
