the Rhythm of War
A rhythm produced — and immediately named — when Navani and Raboniel sing the tones of Honor and Odium into harmony for the first time, mixing Stormlight and Voidlight inside a gemstone. The result is a black-blue Light no scholar had ever seen, and the rhythm that produced it is recognised by Raboniel the moment she hears it. SA:RoW:Ch 76

- first-attuned-by-eshonai-as-she-diedFourteen months before Navani and Raboniel sang it together at Urithiru, a dying Eshonai in the chasms below Narak heard the two pure tones of Roshar snap together into harmony and attuned the Rhythm of War herself — *the rhythm of victories and losses, the rhythm of a life at its end* — using it to hold her Blade in the stone until the floodwaters slowed.SA:RoW:Ch 117
