I believe he was a Lightweaver worldhopper - even knowing he was written as tribute to Tolkien - I do not believe he was Hoid - i hope we see him again

Syl talks to Kal in his head at end of WoR If Nightblood is spren he could bond Szeth

I have some thoughts and questions about things brought up ok so it was born on Nalthis and isn't a spren from Roshar - if true should it be given a greater consciousness just by being super invested Awakened ? is that what happens at that level of Awakening ? other Awakened objects can't talk or hear thoughts can the breaths be taken back like regular Awakened ? and if it is now a splinter of Endowment how does that manifest through Nightblood ? that personality or morality ? would that make Nightblood Returned ? and Returned what / who ? maybe what Vasher is hiding is a little more than how to Awaken regular metal - maybe worldhopping and Nightblood's origin -- Vasher can sense spren - page 398 hardcover what makes Nightblood twisted ? and black ? and feed on breath ? something happened during the process

Well, I am a sword, Nightblood said with a mental huff. Might as well stick to what you’re good at. . . . Warbreaker chapter 5

you're probably right - but i don't remember anything that states he is specifically from Nalthis in my mind i think of a shardblade as: a spren's interpretation of an honorblade - from Roshar if from Roshar a shardblade implies to me the blade would come with a "dead" spren taking it to Nalthis you could maybe bring that spren back around by investing if the blade comes from Nalthis would it not just be a living piece of steel ? would it then be considered the same thing as a shardblade ? there is some crossover between planets on this one we are missing maybe what about locallity for magic system ? how is he able to function on Roshar ? IDK maybe it's as simple as you say - so much investment makes it a splinter/spren/shardblade also - Nightblood is larger than normal blade - not sure if that means anything

Thanks Voidus ! I guess then the question would be - where is Nightblood originally from ?

indeed - strange that huh ? wonder why

I know there is a WoB that says paraphrased that Nightblood is basically a shardblade or equivalent i think the voice / the attitude - seems very spren like do any other Awakened objects speak ?

Something has always troubled me about Nightblood's story / origin in Warbreaker ..so... how about : Nightblood is a Lifeless or Lifeless / Awakened Shardblade - the spren was brought back to life my first posted theory so I'm keeping it short and sweet - be gentle ..GO!

I've read most Cosmere 'cept Silence (have read the bit) , White Sand (my request has been in) , and of course Dragonsteel (woe is me). Also have read most of the nonCosmere stuff too. I play Mistborn , Love me some WoT , and YES i'd like a cookie.

i've searched plenty - was looking for tips / tricks / advice looking - some things are not easy to find and didn't want to post repeats (example: Slowswift - comes back with everything from chat to profile to forum stuff ... and yes i know it's Tolkien .. but ..i have another thought)

Hello I've been hovering around for a while - love what is see - time to put my 2 cents in before i do that - does anyone have advice on searching for / if topics have ever been brought up ? thank you much - glad to be a part ARARITA
