Or is this just an assumption the community has made? I think the main thing is that Wyndle calls the Nightwatcher Mother, and Brandon has said that Wyndle's type of spren is probably the closest to Cultivationspren there is. There might be some other WoB I'm not thinking of.

Or is this just an assumption the community has made? Part of the Nightwatcher-Cultivation relationship comes from Lift's Spren. He calls Nightwatcher "Mother" in the same way Syl calls Stormfather well "father". This made many think that the Nightwatcher is relate to Cultivation like the Stormfather is relate to Honor. And both of them have some kinds Spren's species under them... Probably the sorted by the amount of H&C's Investiture in them. I don't think this is true... but it's what is widely believed.
Rich2244 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Could someone link the WoB that relates Wyndle to Cultivation, I've gotta admit I was more of the opinion that the radiants in their entirety were of Honour and that we would see some other thing later on that is of Cultivation much like we saw the effects of Hemalurgy early on in mistborn but we didn't see the actual system or understand it at all.
Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I don't know how to link to a specific WoB on the page, but: Question Is the Nightwatcher Cultivation or of Cultivation somehow? Brandon Sanderson That is strongly hinted in the book. ----- and ----- Question Is the Nightwatcher a spren of Cultivation in a similar way that the Stormfather is to Honor? Brandon Sanderson The Nightwatcher is not Cultivation but is related. You're on the right track. ----- and ----- Question Is Cultivation the same thing as the Nightwatcher? Brandon Sanderson No, they are related but it is more like the similarity between the Stormfather and Honor. Edited June 15, 2016 by Ecthelion III
Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Also, a couple more WoB about Cultivation, somehow I think these might be *very* related... Quote StormAtlas Were Cultivation and Honor romantically involved? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Quote Question What are Cultivation's feelings with regards to the Stormfather? Brandon Sanderson Cultivation's feelings-- I don't think that has spoilers-- Cultivation is, um uhhh [long pause] I just have to decide how I can say things that are not spoilers. Cultivation, the Stormfather reminds her of certain things about someone else she knew, and she feels the same way about the Stormfather in some ways as this person she knew.
