We more or less got a direct statement about him not really understanding why in WoR. It was when he was talking to Dalinar just before leaving to go find where Jasnah reappears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PallonianFire Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Maybe there's a difference between odiumspren and spren that are of Odium, a la honorspren like Syl and other spren that are splinters of Honor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess so - after all, stormspren are apparently also of Odium, and yet Brandon doesn't count them as odiumspren, it'd seem. So a true odiumspren might be something like anti-honorspren? Maybe we'll see anti-Syl somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nicely fitting, and also awfully surprising in its reveal. To continue the thought, this is actually an excellent clue of how Jasnah acquired one. They were probably like "OMG.... This is some awesome writing she is doing!!! Must... bond... NOW...." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beind an inkspren, but called "Ivory". I once asked about his name, and Peter told me that this name does mean white (The choice of it is intentional.), which is an interesting contrast. The Rosharans get ivory from certain kinds of creatures' tusks and spurs, like on a whitespine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a deleted scene that is from Jasnah's point of view right after she got stabbed and transitioned herself into the cognitive realm. Ivory had mother-of-pearl white skin and wore a sharp black suit. I'm guessing he is named after his 'skin' tone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link? 7 hours ago, PallonianFire said: Maybe there's a difference between odiumspren and spren that are of Odium, a la honorspren like Syl and other spren that are splinters of Honor? Yeah, Jasnah implies that the generic term for spren that are of Odium is voidspren. Odiumspren is probably a specific species of voidspren. It's also like how Cultivation-based spren are called naturespren and there's a specific species called cultivationspren (of which Wyndle is one). Honor-based spren are emotionspren and, as you said, Syl in particular is honorspren. Of course, there are spren that are mixtures, so it gets more complex.

It doesn't explicitly say that Ivory had white skin, but rather it's described as having a "mother-of-pearl sheen". This means his skin is iridescent, not necessarily white (Wikipedia even mentions a black variety of mother-of-pearl). But yeah, it's possible Ivory's skin looks like white nacre. That might be why he's called Ivory. Edited December 2, 2016 by Ookla the Insipid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not realize it was deleted - thought it'd be a small flashback in Oathbringer (given that we were promised some details of her journey). "Ivory" always made sense as a name of Jasnah's spren due to the obvious "Ivory Tower" connotations. Those do not exist in Cosmere (I would think), or at least, they do not exist on Roshar, so there must've been an in-universe reason. But for the English-speaking reader, Jasnah's personality and pursuits match the name of the spren perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Technically it's not a deleted scene. Brandon wrote about a novella's worth of Jasnah's travels through Shadesmar because he needed to work through what happened, but he never intended on releasing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
