Proper_Azish_Form Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 (edited) The Kickstarter may have confirmed the identity of the plate spren! It contains a card deck wich in turn contains a card on which the contents of the other cards are listed. On this card we can find the following list after a list of Radiant spren: Windspren Gravitationspren Flamespren Lifespren Concentrationspren Creationspren Logicspren Joyspren Gloryspren I think that this list can only be of the plate spren fo each order. As of RoW we know that the plate of Windrunners is made out of Windspren. WaT confirms that Creationspren are the platespren of Lightweavers and [WOB] confirmed that Logicspren are the platespren of Elsecallers . Gloryspren and Lifespren have long been theorized for the orders of Bondsmiths and Edgedancers respectievly. The full list would now be something like: Windspren - Windrunners Gravitationspren - Skybreakers Flamespren - Dustbringers Lifespren - Edgedancers Concentrationspren - Truthwatchers Creationspren - Lightweavers Logicspren - Elsecallers Joyspren - Willshapers Gloryspren - Bondsmiths Did we know this already from somewhere else?

JustQuestin2004 he/him Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 You forgot Bindspren for the Stonewards. 1
Dofurion Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Well, it seems I got it right that Bindsprens were Radiant Sprens, I just failed the Order (I thought they were particular to the Sibling's Bondsmith). Furthermore, they still fit well within my predictive scheme.
Slayd_07 Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Some really interesting ones in here. Flamespren and Gravitationspren must be REALLY cool as plate spren, and joyspren are really interesting - although they do seem thematic for Willshapers. 1
Dofurion Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Considering the introduction of the concepts of Rock, Wind, and Night, there is something that made me look again at the image of this card on the Kickstarter. I would like us to take a look at how they are organized: ♤: Inkspren, Cryptic and Highspren. ◇: Cultivationspren, Honorspren and Mistspren. ♧: Peakspren, Reacher and Ashspren. These three groups share bodily characteristics that we can easily associate with these new entities: ♤ = Night ◇ ≈ Wind ♧ = Rock Obviously the type of Spren that is most out of place are the Cultivationspren in the Wind list, but I still think it is something to keep in mind. 3

Maybe they got grouped with the Honorspren, because each is the closest spren to their respective namesake Shard

I think you might have the Cultivationspren and the Highspren swapped. As we now know the Nightwatcher replaced the Night via Cultivation it stands to reason the Cultivationspren would be in the same category. It should also be noted that assuming the Cultivationspren are in fact in the Night category then all three Spren in that category are Spren who cannot make themselves invisible. In addition, the Bondsmith spren each fit into a category: Nightwatcher: Night Stormfather: Wind Sibling: Rock Edited October 17, 2024 by The Sovereign 3
