[OB] Clarification about Renarin


Recommended Posts

So in Oathbringer, Jasnah reveals that Renarin's spren look like a normal Truthwatcher spren, and that this is because it is corrupted by Odium. However Dalinar later thinks of Renarin as a Truthwatcher. So is Renarin actually a Truthwatcher? Is Glys a corrupted Truthwatcher spren or something else? And if it is something else, how is Renarin able to mimic a Knight Radiant's abilities?

I'm sorry if this was clarified at the end of the book, but I couldn't find any clear mention of it.

I'm pretty sure Glys is a legitimate Truthwatcher spren corrupted by the influence of Sja-anat. He seems to still be a Surgebinder (he can heal at least). It's possible he might be able to Voidbind too...but anyways, I do believe he is a Radiant. The spren has been corrupted/altered in some way.

Jasnah actually reveals that Renarin's spren *doesn't* look like a normal Truthwatcher spren.  I don't think she has revealed this to Dalinar yet.  She might not--she might want to protect Renarin and think over the ramifications first.

Renarin's only been able to use one of a Truthwatcher's surges, Regrowth.  He hasn't been able to Lightweave at all.  He can, however, see the future, which is of Odium.  So the theory is that he has access to one Surgebinder power and one Voidbinder power.

Also, here's a great thread about Renarin:
