Eu sei que este é um post antigo, mas isso foi confirmado recentemente em Oathbringer.
Dalinar foi visitar o Vigia Noturno para esquecer sua dor ao acidentalmente assassinar sua esposa no The Rift. Dalinar entrou em uma espiral descendente depois daquele evento. Ele se torna "assombrado" pela memória dela e de todos os inocentes que ele matou naquele dia.

Depois que as lembranças do Rift retornaram, Dalinar finalmente percebe porque ele não consegue lembrar o nome de sua esposa.
The coward's route he'd obviously taken- though he could not yet remember his visit to the Nightwatcher, he knew what he'd asked for. Relief from this awful burden. The ability to lie, to pretend he had not done such horrible things.
Oathbringer Página 1077 Capítulo 114: O Custo
Dalinar Realmente conhecendo o Nightwatcher e o Cultivation.
Interação com Nightwatcher:
What would you like? she asked. *Renown? Wealth? Skill? Would you like to be able to swing a sword and never tire?
"No," Dalinar whispered.
*Beauty? Followers? I can feed your dreams, make you glorious.
Her dark mists wrapped around him. The tiny tendrils tickled his skin. She brought her face right up to his again. What is your boon?
Dalinar blinked tears, listening to the sounds of the children dying in the distance, and whispered a single word.
"Forgiveness."
Neste momento, Dalinar pedindo perdão confunde o Nightwatcher. O cultivo leva as coisas às suas próprias mãos.
Interação w / Cultivo
Após o cultivo, pergunta a Dalinar o que ele quer:
"I asked the ardents," Dalinar said. "I didn't get what I wanted."
YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED. THE TRUTH YOU HAVE CRAFTED FOR YOURSELVES.
"I am doomed then," Dalinar whispered, stopping in place. He could still hear those voices. "They weep, Mother."
She looked back at him.
"I hear them when I close my eyes. All Around me, begging me to save them. They're driving me mad.
THIS WILL BE YOUR BOON. I WILL NOT MAKE OF YOU THE MAN YOU CAN BECOME. I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE APTITUDE, OR THE STRENGTH, NOR WILL I TAKE FROM YOU YOUR COMPULSIONS.
BUT I WILL GIVE YOU... A PRUNING. A CAREFUL EXCISION TO LET YOU GROW. THE COST WILL BE HIGH.
"Please," Dalinar said. "Anything."
IN DOING THIS, I PROVIDE FOR HIM A WEAPON. DANGEROUS, VERY DANGEROUS, YET, ALL THINGS MUST BE CULTIVATED. WHAT I TAKE FROM YOU WILL GROW BACK EVENTUALLY. THIS IS PART OF THE COST.
IT WILL DO ME WELL TO HAVE A PART OF YOU, EVEN IF YOU ULTIMATELY BECOME HIS. YOU WERE ALWAYS BOUND TO COME TO ME. I CONTROL ALL THINGS THAT CAN BE GROWN, NURTURED.
A BOON AND A CURSE the, Mother said. THAT IS HOW IT IS DONE. I WILL TAKE THESE THINGS FROM YOUR MIND. AND WITH THEM, I TAKE HER.
"You'll take..." He spoke with difficulty. "You'll take Evi from me?"
ALL MEMORIES OF HER. THIS IS THE COST. SHOULD I FORBEAR?
Dalinar squeezed his eyes shut. Evi...
He had never deserved her.
"Do it," he whispered.
Embora o Cultivation não tenha dado a Dalinar o usual combo Nightwatcher boon / curse, ela deu a ele uma "poda". Argumenta-se que Dalinar não recebeu um combo boon / curse, mas eu acredito que ele fez. Cultivo levou todas as memórias causando culpa Dalinar (o benefício). Com essas memórias, vem todas as memórias de Evi (a maldição).
