==== The True Desolation ====

 

Szeth, who calls Nightblood 'sword-nimi', carried it during and after his training with Nale and the [[Order of Skybreakers|Skybreakers]]. He was warned not to draw it except in case of extreme emergency and only if he carries much Stormlight, lest it feed upon his soul.{{book ref|sa3|90}} Notably, Szeth made no mention of any sensation of either nausea or lust for Nightblood upon encountering it because of his compatibility with Nightblood.{{wob ref|15920}}

Szeth chooses to leave Nightblood a distance away when interacting with [[Szeth's highspren|his highspren]].{{book ref|sa4|i|7}}

 

 

During their campaign to free [[Emul]], Nightblood accompanied Szeth, Dalinar, and several Windrunners to parley with [[Ishar]]. Crazed, Ishar attempts to form a [[Connection]] with Dalinar to steal his bond to the [[Stormfather]]. Inside of Dalinar's [[perpendicularity]], Szeth uses Nightblood to sever this Connection, thereby saving Dalinar. While Szeth duels [[Ishar]], Nightblood manages to chip off a piece of Ishar's [[Honorblade]], shocking Ishar and causing him to flee.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

 

Nightblood later accompanied Szeth when the Skybreaker invades [[Taravangian]]'s prison and murdered him with a normal knife. Just before Taravangian perished, [[Odium]] arrived to question him, but Taravangian grabbed the cognitive manifestation of Nightblood and used it to attack the Shard. Taravangian then perished, but, before he could pass into the [[Beyond]], Nightblood killed Odium's Vessel, [[Rayse]], but was sated by the Investiture required to do so and left the [[Shard]] itself intact, which allowed Taravangian to Ascend as the new Vessel of Odium.{{book ref|sa4|113}}
