Honorspren alive after the Recriance

[Lccaseiro58]

Was Syl the only honorspren alive after the Recriance? If so, the new ones were created before or after Honor death?

[RShara]

Syl was the only Honorspren left of the first honorspren that the Stormfather created. After the Recreance, the Stormfather created only 10 more honorspren. All current honorspren are descended from those 10.

 

Quote

“Well…” Notum frowned; he’d obviously thought the concept of Honor’s death would have been more difficult for Kaladin to accept. “Well, sometime before his death, Honor stopped creating honorspren. We don’t know why, but he asked the Stormfather to do it instead.”

“He was setting up an heir. I’ve heard that the Stormfather is a kind of image of the Almighty.”

“More like a weak shadow,” Notum said. “You … actually understand this?”

“Understand, no. Follow? Mostly.”

“The Stormfather created only a handful of children. All of these, save Sylphrena, were destroyed in the Recreance, becoming deadeyes. This loss stung the Stormfather, who didn’t create again for centuries. When he was finally moved to remake the honorspren, he created only ten more. My great-grandmother was among them; she created my grandfather, who created my father, who eventually created me.

Not to split hairs but he only says that Syl's 9 siblings were destroyed any number of honorspren that Honor made could have survived.

"Remake the honorspren" makes it sound like there's a pretty good chance that most of them were either deadeyes or couldn't be found.

The wording Notum uses, plus Syl's title as the "Ancient Daughter" makes me think she is unique in her age, and the last surviving pre- recreance Honorspren. But I don't think there is anything in the books or any wob's that actually confirm that is the case.

Or just that the numbers had fallen to small enough levels that the making of 10 more was a major event in honorspren history.
