Laryna Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't know if this question has been asked before or not, but if a Radiant dies, his bond with his spren also dies, right? (Unless, of course, the spren follows him to the afterlife). But the spren doesn't technically "die" in the human sense- it loses sentience. So can the same spren bond with another upcoming Radiant?

Kurkistan Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Syl said in WoK that Kaladin dying would make it so that she reverted back to her stupid-self, so it looks like simple death of the Radiant isn't the same as betrayal of their Oaths.

Cayden Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The betrayal seems to have been some way to force the spren to stay in their shardblade/plate form permanently without the ability to change that. Kaladin broke his Oaths and Syl was basically banished, she didnt turn into a blade/plate. That has to be part of the reason the spren are so hesitant, they didnt just kill the spren, they betrayed them in a way to turn them into something they would hate. I think in a way shardblades are similar to what happened to Szeth. Forced to do things they loath but unable or unwilling to change that even though it causes them pain.
