  1. Two Spren types/SHARDPLATE theory

     

    Ok so I have a theory that eacg Radiant order has two different types of Spren.

    The first one is one of the ten higher types of Spren, which forms the Nahel-bond and once the Radiant swears the third Ideal of his/her order, can turn into a Shardblade. 

    The second type of Spren is one of the lesser Spren. My theory is that once the Radiant swears the fourth oath, these lesser Spren form into that person’s Shardplate. 

    Which explains why Sanderson has said that Shardplate isn’t as invested as Shardblade, it’s made up of weaker Spren then Shardblades.

    This theory is backed up by the fact that when Kaladin was about to swear the fourth ideal of the Windrunners (I am aware he didn’t) hundreds of windspren where spinning around him. And when he said to Syl that he couldn’t swear the oath, he apologized to Syl and the WINDSPREN.

    This theory is backed up further as throughout Oathbringer the closer he got to swearing it the more windspren appeared in Shadesmar around him.

     

    So I think it might work something like this:

    Windrunners: windspren

    Bondsmiths: gloryspren

    Elsecallers: logicspren

    Willshapers: intoxicationspren (JK)

    Lightweavers: creationspren

    Edgedancers: lifespren 

    Skybreakers: ????

    Truthwatchers: ????

    Stonewards:  ????

    Dustbringers: flamespren

    With this in mind, think off the various statements about Spren throughout the series.

     

    • No Spren in Shinovar: this could mean that no Radiants lived here, so no lesser Spren needed to be there to form into Shardplate.
    • Logicspren only common in Urithiru: this could be where most Elsecallers lived, as I can totally see all the scholars hiding away in some hidden corridor somewhere. 
    • Windspren super common in Alethkar: we know as a fact that most Windrunners came from and lived in that area.

     

     

    If someone could confirm this at I signing for me, that would be great. (Ps. I want props for this theory).
