Quantus Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Quote Questioner Do you have a term for a group of spren? Like a gaggle of geese, or something like that? Brandon Sanderson I have not come up with one. That's a great question; I have never considered it before. I would be taking suggestions. YouTube Livestream 13 (July 23, 2020) I stumbled across this recent WOB today, and I couldnt think of a better group of people to come up with suggestions. So lets discuss! I think that a single word for all spren groups would be too reductive, the whole point is that they are a vast and diverse ecosystem of different subspecies. So at the very least I think that warrants specific names for each of the Ten sapient Randiant Spren, though a couple generic terms of the lesser spren would be useful too. My first pass, just for a starting point: A Flight of Honorspren A Matrix of Cryptics A Court of Highspren A Grove of Cultivationspren A Stanza of Inkspren A Constellation of Lightspren A March of Reachers A Drama of Passions (ie. Syl's term for lesser emotion-spren) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windrunner2319 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I feel like as far as an In world term goes, Rosharans arent going to have different names for all the orders of spren, because they really arent that spren aware. They are learning more, but we can assume that In World a term already exists, (even if Brandon hasnt decided what it is yet) I also doubt the would use a very Cosmere aware term. I would suggest a Manifest of spren or a muster of spren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushu42 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I like "manifest" as well. It isn't unreasonable that they have different words for types of spren, though. Even if they don't know exactly what they are, everyone seems to know of their existence, and of the significance of most basic types. Some ideas: A burst of Gloryspren A cloud of Cryptics A crawl of Fearspren A tide of Angerspren A gust of Windspren A storm of Creationspren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which now that I think about it opens the option for both complimentary and derogatory versions of these group terms!

Yolenlightweaver Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Pokémon was genius. One Pokémon is a Pokémon. Many Pokémon would be like, "Look at all those Pokémon!" I vote spren would be singular and plural, or for the sake of losing my own sanity, we should call them sprens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
