HawkFan Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Howdy! I decided to search for a Stormlight Archive forum and found this. I am still working my way to the end of Oathbringer and am eagerly awaiting book four. I do have a question too: How would you define honorspren, like Syl is, and how do they differ from other spren? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all Welcome! Second of all can you explain what you mean by "define?" It would help. Here is what I think what you are asking. All spren native to roshar are created from bits of Honor and Cultivation's investiture that broke off and combined at various ratios. When those bits gain a personality and identity you get a spren(bits of investiture left around gain some kind of intelligent naturally on their own). Because each kind of investiture has its own "flavor" the different amounts of investiture give different personalities. Honorspren like Syl have an extraordinarily high(perhaps the highest) quantity of Honor's investiture and the very little of Cultivation's. Does this help? Also avoid the SA threads. They have spoilers for Oathbringer. Edited January 26, 2020 by Karger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoWibble Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Welcome! Yeah, I was told not to come to the Shard after I had read the existing cosmere. I keep the same standard for anyone else that I invite to read Brandon Sanderson. Who is your favorite character in the SA and why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not all, since Adonalsium created Roshar and Honor & Cultivation arrived afterwards @HawkFan, welcome to the Shard! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically I would say Syl is probably my favorite because she has a lot of spunk and personality. Adolin is my favorite POV character. It is also quite entertaining to read the chapters (as few as they are) for the young female radiant with the vine spren. I don't remember her name. I have read the short story involving her as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
