tobar14 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I was aimlessly wandering through the 17th shard and The Coppermind, and I started delving into the Derethi Church. I noticed at the end of the Coppermind article it mention a mythical sword. Link here. "The original Wyrn had a mythical sword named Gretgor" "Gretgor is a mythological weapon used by the first Wyrn, founder of the Fjordell Empire." This is the first time I can remember hearing about this sword/weapon. We know that Elantris is chronologically first, in regards to the currently published cosmere works. Could this mythical sword/weapon be somehow related to shardblades, or awakened swords (nightblood)? Is this mythical sword the idea/seed for how nightblood came to be? I have no more information on Gretgor, so I am interested to see what people think, or if people have any other information regarding this weapon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hrm. The citations are all circular; they just cycle around in the Coppermind. Do we have an external source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hrm. The citations are all circular; they just cycle around in the Coppermind. Do we have an external source? Actually if you click on the citation on the Gretgor page you get brought to the glossary page. That is a mirror of the glossary on Brandon's site, which there is a link to at the top of the page. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bard Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Link to what Weiry mentioned. I don't think the name appears in the book (or Hope of Elantris). Either he threw it in as an extra, but unimportant tidbit, or it's a future plot point/ important thing. Personally, I think it could go either way.

WayneSpren Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I remember seeing the word Getgor in Elantris. I don't know anything about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hmm, I don't remember/know anything of this. Could possibly be a Fjordell parallel to MaiPon's Moon sceptre? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
