Ciridae Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 So I think starspren will either turn out to be the cousin spren to highspren or lightspren. Highspren obviously have a star theme going already, with the stars that can be seen through their rip in reality. Skybreaker are assosciated with the sky too, and starspren are mostly seen in the night sky, so there you go. As for the Reachers, I've always wondered why they are called lightspren. In Shadesmar they are made out of metal, and it's odd that they would have a form in the Physical realm that's not even loosely assosciated with their CR essence. Instead for whatever reason they have an astral motiv, looking like a comet, tiny sun, or planet with rings. Plus, Venli at first thinks that Timbre is a starspren, much like Kaladin thought Syl was a windspren. And stars as a means of navigation fit perfectly with the themes of Reachers (and Willshapers). Personally I like the reasoning for the lightspren better, but I could see it being either of the two. I'm blanking on other ideas for cousin spren for either of the orders, but I feel pretty confident that starspren are one of them. Let me know what you think!
