What were the Spren doing?


JustQuestin2004

Question

So what exactly were most Spren doing before and during the Final Desolation?

They already knew it was coming due to the Everstorm and a few Spren did go out to Bond with humans, but what exactly were the majority of living Spren doing in Shadesmar? Just sitting around waiting for Odium to kill them? Because I'm pretty sure Odium would have absolutely killed all Spen after he was done with Roshar and humans.

Did the Spren in Shadesmar really make zero preparations?

Depends on the Spren

The Honorspren had been trying to take over all of shadesmar and had been warring with several of the other races including the Inkspren. 

The Cryptics were being mostly isolationist, but they were the first to try to reBond Radiants in preparation. 

The Cultivationspren had been nearly wiped out by the Recreace and never reformed a Nation, but their leadership jump to Bonding as soon as they saw the Cryptics doing it.  

The Ashspren are still really mad about the recreance and blame organized worship of Honor, so they are either trying to stay out of it or actively supporting odium.

Some amount of Highspren where Bonded to Skybreakers and thought they were working with Nale to prevent the Desolation.  The rest are Isolationist in shadesmar, as far as we know.  

The Inkspren were warring with Honorspren, and also seem mostly unwillign to attempt a Bond again, but we dont really know what they are up to as a group.

Lightspren were working heavily as merchants, traders, and sailors, and may or may not have any settlements of their own.  But they seem to be the first to "forgive" the Singers, or at least a few have.

Mistspren are the most willing to be Enlightened by Sja-Anat...

 

Also, for what it's worth The Everstorm showed up in Shadesmar a lot earlier than when it manifested in the Physical realm, and it started spewing Voidspren, so there was a lot of upheaval there too.

Ah, so Shadesmar really does reflect the Physical Realm, they were pretty much dealing with their own Diet-Desolation.

As well as being very un-unified.

It'd be pretty interesting if Dalinar's 'Unite Them' extended to the Spren too. Also likely in my opinion.
