Humble_Knight Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Did anyone else think it was weird when Hoid was comparing spirits to other cognitive creatures, he omitted spren? He compares them to Seons and Fay, and his audience has knowledge of Rosharan ethnicities, but omits spren. The other weird thing to notice is that he says that you may have heard of Design's people. When I read that I took it as Cryptics, but what if he was refering to spren as a whole. DId something happen to spren? I can write this off as a way of preventing spoiling how Radiants work, but this seems like a huge omission to me. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to a group of offworlders who meet Rosharan Worldhoppers with some level of regularity. Edited March 24, 2022 by Frustration 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly post - stormlight 5, as Design being a full person says they have been bonded for at least a couple years, though it feels like decades or centuries. Would Rosharan worldhoppers be common enough to share differences between Vededns and Alethis, but not common enough to know what spren are? Still seems weird to me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are drawn by absolutely physical things like wind, rain or fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
