The '''Oathgates''' are structures on [[Roshar]] that allow people to instantaneously teleport from one location to another. There are twenty in total, with ten located in [[Urithiru]], while the other ten sit in various cities across the continent.
A Radiant can use their Shardblade to travel to the Cognitive Realm instead of another Oathgate.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
Oathgates function by sending a group or individual between Oathgates through the [[Spiritual Realm]].{{wob ref|9307}}{{wob ref|16252}}
=== Structure and Operation ===
King [[Taravangian]] of [[Jah Keved]] and [[Kharbranth]] was the first to agree, ordering his Radiant, [[Malata]], to activate the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|24}} [[Thaylenah|Thaylens]] were the next to agree, and Dalinar sent [[Shallan]] and [[Kaladin]] to open it from their side.{{book ref|sa3|51}} Finally, the [[Azish]] allowed access, after initially denying that the Oathgate was even functional.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|60}}
At the same time, one of [[Odium]]'s [[Unmade]], [[Sja-anat]], suceeded at corrupting the [[Oathgate spren]] of [[Kholinar]] to bend them to her master's will.{{book ref|sa3|87}} The [[Voidbringer]]s later used this to invade Urithiru from Kholinar, as a distraction from the attack on [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} After [[Alethi]], assisted by [[Teft]], managed to push them back, they sent reinforcements to Thaylen City through its Oathgate to turn the tide of battle.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
