The One Who Connects he/him Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 On 11/27/2017 at 1:57 AM, Brightlord Maelstrom said: E. Do we know how much time has elapsed between Warbreaker and SA1? As mentioned by Yata, there is a very small time-frame since it's after HoA but before AoL. From WoB, Warbreaker is "several hundred" years before Way of Kings. (The implied placement of Warbreaker should still be semi-accurate, even if Alloy got moved later). Additionally, Nightblood(Book) is meant to be the "exact book" before SA1, but closer to WB than to SA. 16 hours ago, BaoTheWyld said: I was wondering if she has any similarities to a certain priest from Elantris and his arm probably a stretch though. Main reason I'd say probably not(outside of the more "self-contained" story reason) is that she's looking for Vasher, and I don't think he's gone to Sel before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Invictus he/him Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I have unfortunately been away from the 17th Shard —-I misplaced my password, like a numbskull—- but I am stupidly happy to hear Vivenna showed up in Oathbreaker. I found Warbreaker to be absolutely awesome! First Vasher, now Vivenna! W00t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderfist Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Another indication that Azure is Vivenna: Azure is a color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SzethIsBadAsHell he/him Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Nightblood command was Destroy evil , a simple two word command , I️ think Viviana blade is something like Protect the weak , seeing as how she was protecting the Alethi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batemenace Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 If memory serves me correctly, the marks Azure's sword leaves on the people it cuts are really similar to the scaring Lift and Szeth received after Nightblood tried to suck them dry of investiture. To me this indicates Azure's sword is sucking investiture from the people it cuts into, though in a far less violent or potent maner as OG Nightblood. I'd be willing to accept that Azure's sword isn't a danger to its user, but it's definitely Nightblood Lite®. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMc6 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Okay, first-sorry so late to the party that is this forum thread. Second-a thought on the wrapped cloak around Azure's arm: does she perhaps need a source of color in order to awaken her sword when unsheathed? Third, a question: Do you think Vivenna/Azure hears her sword's thoughts in her head like NB?

Willshaping Crasher Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am curious if the cloth Azure wraps her arm with has color. Could the new blade draw the color from the cloth first and this is why she uses the cloth? Plenty of questions unanswered on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwchrono Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have been wondering, is it possible that Nightblood was stolen from Vasher somehow. Then Vasher and Vivienna worked together to create another type IV sword that had the command sever life or breaths, (or some other command that would work against type IV weapons) that might be used to finally destroy Nightblood specifically?

Farnsworth Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Now that Susebron can talk, it’s probably easier to make swords like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbringer he/him Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I did a little research on nightblood, and I found out he wasn't always as invested and powerful. Every person he kills, everything he destroys, and every bit of investiture he feed on from his wielder makes him stronger. Perhaps Vivenna's blade is too new and hasn't eaten enough investiture to be as powerful as nightblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis he/him Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 @Sunbringer from the same signing, all brand new WoBs, we also have these two showing that there is plenty going on with Nightblood that isn't normal. Quote Questioner [PENDING REVIEW] When Nightblood created, was Endowment involved in any way more than normal? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Good question, you qualified that the right way! I would say yes, but maybe not to the extent you're thinking. Questioner [PENDING REVIEW] Normal being using Endowment's Investiture to Awaken. There's something special. Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] I would say, there is something special. source Quote *not yet transcribed* Hmm, I'll come in and add the WoB once it's been transcribed, but there's another new one that says Nightblood contains Investiture from Ruin as well.

I'm glad we finally got confirmation about Nightblood having Investiture from Ruin. There was a thread about that a while ago, yeah? From what I remember it never got solved one way or the other.
