Highspren?

[Stormgate he/him]

So, something that's been floating around the SA forum is the term "highspren," describing the spren that bonds with Skybreakers. For a while, I've just gone with it, but where did the name come from? An Ars Arkenaum? A WoB? What do we know about them? What, exactly, are they attracted to? Honorspren are attracted to honor, Cryptics to lies, whatever Wyndle is (NOT a Voidbringer) is attracted to the pure in heart, highspren are attracted to...what?

I have re-checked to be sure but the only two reference to highspren in the books are:

- Jashan: She talked to them in Shadesmar

-Syl: when Kal says "I may escape but it's aganist the law", Syl replies: " I am not a HighSpren, the law doesn't matter, just what it's right matter" (a quick traslate from my book)

Therefore probably the Highspren are pulled by the people who put the order and law above the rest

Ah, thank you.

Syl: She  lifted her chin. “I’m no highspren. Laws don’t matter; what’s right matters.”

Jasnah: She licked her lips, but otherwise did a good job containing her anxiety. “If it’s not happening as it did before, then everything I know could be false. The words of the highspren could be inaccurate. The records I seek could be meaningless.”

Highspren are really just Spren who like to 420 blaze it with Snoop Dog

I'm intrigued if the two references are actually regarding the same spren. (Granted they do, but It does intrigue me)
