== History ==
=== Creation and the Heraldic Epochs ===
The origin of the Oathgates is unknown, although they weremay likelyhave been constructed during the [[Silver Kingdoms]] epoch as they link the capitals of those ancient nations.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Linking far flung cities with one another and [[Urithiru]],{{book ref|sa3|1}} use of the Oathgates was administered by members of the [[Knights Radiant]],{{book ref|sa2|77}} whose [[BladesShardblade|Blade]]s served as the keys that allowed for their operation.{{book ref|sa2|86}} Much trade{{epigraph ref|sa1|46}} and travel{{book ref|sa1|58}} was done via the Oathgates, with the goods traded tariffed by the Radiants.{{epigraph ref|sa1|46}} The gates were also likely usedcapable asof methodstransporting topeople traveland goods between the Physical Realm and Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
 
=== Closing of the Oathgates ===
As time went on, tariffs became increasingly steep, a source of ire for those taxed by the Radiants.{{epigraph ref|sa1|46}} During [[Aharietiam]], the city of Stormseat was destroyed by the [[Voidbringers]] and that Oathgate fellwas into disuseforgotten,{{book ref|sa2|60}} although the mechanism remained intact.{{book ref|sa2|86}} Later, just before Honor died, he spoke to the spren of the Oathgates, ordering them to stop allowing for Realmatic transition and only permitting Transportation between locations in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|116}} As the [[Sibling]] retreated from mankind and the city of [[Urithiru]] began to fail, the Radiants closed and locked the active Oathgates and abandoned the city.

In the course of her research, she successfully identified the locations of most of the Oathgates,{{book ref|sa3|8}} and may have even made an attempt to activate the Kholinar Oathgate, to no avail.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
 
Following in her mastersmaster's footsteps, [[Shallan Davar]] successfully located the [[Stormseat]] Oathgate during the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|84}} She managed to activate it, transferring the Alethi forces safely to Urithiru. This Oathgate was used to ferry people from the warcamps on the [[Shattered Plains]] to Urithiru. The Oathgates became central to Dalinar Kholin's plan to unite Roshar against the Voidbringers, intending to begin his defense by protecting the cities with Oathgates. After reaching out via spanreed, many kingdoms were hesitant to open portals to their capitals to the warlike Alethi, but Taravangian of Jah Keved was the first to agree,{{book ref|sa3|12}} ordering his Radiant [[Malata]] to activate the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|24}} The Thaylens were the firstnext to agree to allow Dalinar to open their Oathgate, Kaladin and Shallan flew with a highstorm to Thaylen City to open the way. The Azish soon followed afterwards, allowing access to [[Azimir]] after initially denying the portal was functional.
 
With the start of the [[True Desolation]], [[Odium]] managed to compel the [[Unmade]] [[Sja-anat]] to corrupt the Oathgate spren in [[Kholinar]]. When King Elhokar's party attempted to activate the Oathgate to bring in an Alethi army to retake the city, they were instead transported to [[Shadesmar]]. They traveled through the Cognitive Realm to the Oathgate in [[Thaylen City]], but were ultimately unsuccessful at convincing the guardian spren to allow them to transit. During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Voidbringers attacked Urithiru via the Kholinar Oathgate, while simultaneously siezing control of the Thaylen City Gate. After Teft lead the Althi to defeat the Voidbringers in Urithiru, he brought Althi reinforcements through the gate to Thaylen City to turn the tide of the battle.
 
== Culture ==
When the Gates once were active, they were seen as a symbol of the [[Vorinism|Vorin]] [[Right of Travel]], a reflection of a declaration by the [[Herald]]s that all borders should be open.{{book ref|sa2|83}} The Oathgates were viewed as a source of pride and therefore they were constructed in full view in each capital city.

Stories and folklore
 
Once the Oathgates were closed, they became the subject of myths and legends. Tales such as those collected in [[Among the Darkeyed]] are filled with mentions of traveling instantaneously and Oathgates.{{book ref|sa1|39}} It is said that only one of the Knights Radiant are capable of opening the pathway,{{book ref|sa2|75}} in fact it is seen as their duty.{{book ref|sa2|77}} In Thaylenah, stories speak of the one most [[Passions|Passionate]] who could open the portal of worlds again.{{book ref|sa3sa1|12}} Children dream of being the person who discovers how to open the Oathgates again.

During the Battle of Kholinar [[Shallan Davar]] attempted to activate the Kholinar Oathgate to transport survivors back to Urithiru. Prior to the activation she saw a reflection of the [[Unmade]] [[Sja-anat]] warning her that the Oathgate was corrupted. When Shallan activated the Oathgate she and her party were transported into Shadesmar and landed on the Oathgate platform.{{book ref|sa3|87}}
 
== Operation ==
Each Oathgate is ultimately powered by Stormlight. The minimum amount required to start the device is lighting the eleven lamps within the Oathgate with Stormlight. To operate the gate, a Shardblade is inserted within the gates keyhole and the wall rotates to the desired destination before the Blade is turned. This means that typically only Radiants who have reached a point in their oaths where they may manifest a Shardblade can operate an Oathgate. The exception are the [[Honorblade]]s, which are also capable of operating an Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|16}} Interestingly, [[Bondsmith]] Dalinar Kholin manages to activate an Oathgate by summoning a column of bright white light, although this seems highly unusual and little is understood about this.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
 
When an Oathgate is activated,
 
Each Oathgate has may be locked to prevent its usage, meaning that if either or both paired Oathgates are locked no one may use the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|1}} Another mechanism controlled by a dial{{book ref|sa3|100}} allows each Oathgate to transport either the entire circular platform of the Oathgate, or just the control room for smaller parties.{{book ref|sa3|58}} Moving just the control room also is costs less in Stormlight. When an Oathgate is activated, it swaps locations with the paired gate, swapping the surface of one gate with the other, rather than just the people and things standing on the platform. It does not take significantly more Stormlight to swap two groups of people using an Oathgate than it does for one group to use it alone.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
 
==Location of Oathgates==
 
=== Valhav ===
The [[Jah Keved]] Oathgate is located in the city of [[Vedenar]].
 
After it was locked, the Vedenar Oathgate's platform was converted into a garden, but that was cleared away once the gate was reactivated.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
