Plate and Lesser Spren


Prince of Ravens

Recommended Posts

Spoilers from RoW, obviously.

 

So Windrunners plate is made out of windspren. But what about other orders? What are lesser sprens of Cryptics and Inkspren that can form into plate? We have seen confirmation that Jasnah swore 4th ideal, but we didn't get a description of what kind of spren made her plate. Any speculation?

This development has been predicted for years now, so the list ahead is less "my theories" and more "the conclusions fandom seems to agree upon". The ? Marks more uncertain areas.

Bondsmith- gloryspren

Elsecaller- logicspren (?)

Lightweaver- creativityspren (?)

Edgedancer- lifespren

The rest I don't know/ haven't heard theories about.

Sounds like those are a sure thing. But it's kinda strange how little we know of other orders. Peakspren for stonewards and Mistspren was it for Truthwatchers? Can't handle next few years not knowing.

Could probably ask Brandon to list the ones he's comfortable with telling us now that it's been confirmed that plate is cousin spren.

This was discussed in a few different threads before the book came out. Here's one:

Once the Herald portraits came out, it was clear that each was surrounded by their order's cousin spren. The list below seems to have been the consensus. I think the first 7 are definite, but the final 3 are still somewhat unclear.

  • Bondsmith: gloryspren
  • Windrunner: windspren
  • Skybreakers: luckspren / Mandras
  • Dustbringers: flamespren
  • Edgedancer: lifespren
  • Truthwatchers: logicspren
  • Lightweaver: creationspren
  • Elsecallers: Unknown
  • Willshapers: laughterspren
  • Stonewards: painspren? exhaustionspren?

Windrunners- Windspren (CONFIRMED)

Skybreakers- Gravitationspren/Gravityspren

Dustbringers- Flamespren/Heatspren/Decayspren

Edgedancers- Lifespren (pretty much confirmed)

Truthwatchers- Rainspren/Concentrationspren

Lightweavers- Creationspren (pretty much confirmed) 

Elsecallers- Logicspren (CONFIRMED)

Willshapers- Musicspren/Stonespren

Stonewards- Groundspren/Bindspren/Stonespren

Bondsmith- Bindspren/Gloryspren/Coldspren-Towerspren

 

  • There were some discussion that Starspren might be also creating Plate but it was revealed they are solitary spren and do not congregate. 

That's pretty much my assumption. Somebody catch Axis to interrogate.

The following seemed pretty obvious to me.

Bondsmiths*: Gloryspren

Windrunners: Windspren

Releasers: Flamespren

Edgedancers: Lifespren

Lightweavers: Creationspren

Elsecallers: Logicspren

As for the others, I suspect

Skybreakers: Gravitationspren/Groundspren

Willshapers: Musicspren

No Rosharan clue what the Truthwatchers and Stonewards get

We’ve seen windspren use adhesion in pranks. We’ve seen gemstones enhance lifespren, which in turn enhanced plant growth. People on Roshar argue whether or not a spren actually creates what it is named after. All of this points to the idea that cousin spren might each be able to do a different surge.

 Spoiler for Dawnshard:

We’ve seen several occurrences of luckspren using gravitation.

Therefore, I am absolutely sure that luckspren are the cousin spren of skybreakers.
