Adnan Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) We just hear or read that glys is a truthwatch spren but we never hear what type he is. Like Syl is in regards a windrunner spren but she is actually an honorspren. So I would like to know your thoughts on this matter coz it's been on my mind for a while or maybe I just missed it Edited January 16, 2020 by Adnan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent34 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 The type of spren that Truthwatchers bond is, sadly, not yet known. At one point lightspren was used as a filler name but since that's another name for Reachers it's not a good choice anymore. We're due to get info on Orders with the next book so hopefully we'll find out then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy he/him Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 We don't have a name, but Ym would have been a Truthwatcher and his spren is described in his interlude. The Coppermind summary describes it as this: Quote As it moves it looks like specks of light, like those from a piece of crystal suspended in a sunbeam. When it stops, light creeps upward from it, like small plants growing, which withdraw when it starts moving again. That's where the "lightspren" sentiment came from, since we can only guess the name from this describtion. I would be on board with "rainbowspren". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger he/him Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I have also hear him be called a corrupted Truthspren in reference to the type of radiant they make. This page https://coppermind.net/wiki/Nahel_bond Has a list of all known truespren and their radiant orders.

GoWibble he/him Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 For any Pokemon fans, the Stormfather's type is "Unique" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sovereign Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) There is some circumstantial evidence that the Truthwatcher Spren and therefore Glys might be the "Keenspren". For reference: While describing his life as a gardener, Wyndle lists off various types of Spren that had came to him to have gardens grown. Every type that he mentions we know to be a Radiantspren, less the Keenspren. Assuming they follow suit, then there are your Truthwatcher Spren (Or Stoneward Spren [though they seem to be a worse fit] as we know every other order's Spren).

Pagerunner he/him Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Brandon hadn't decided on a final name for them yet while writing Oathbringer, so we do not have a name for them: Quote FeatherWriter Can you tell me what the Truthwatcher spren are called, like do they have a name? I know it's not in Oathbringer. Brandon Sanderson Yeah, I'm not gonna canonize that yet. There're things I am still thinking about.

+Invocation Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'm hoping it'll be something like refractionspren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger he/him Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Personally I am partial to aidspren or kindspren. Edited January 16, 2020 by Ookla the Prolific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halyo_Alex he/him Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I've taken to calling them "Shimmerspren" since that's an elegant term for the refracted light that they resemble in the Physical realm. Also, it would make "Glys" a thematically appropriate name, being short for Glisten, like glistening light on a wall, shimmering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerfarve Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Since this is all speculation I’d like to throw out “prismspren” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necessary Eagle she/her Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 RAFOspren. Or in Glys's specific case, WTFspren. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless he/him Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) In the Physical Realm, Glys looks like a red crystalline snowflake structure, which drips light upwards. This is not the form of normal Truthwatcher spren, who appear as light reflected through crystal on a surface but Glys still somewhat resembles his old form, much like other corrupted (or as Sja-Anat calls it: Enlightened) spren we see in Kholinar in OB We don't know what kind of spren he is(-ish... was?) without knowing the Ideals of the Truthwatchers but perhaps the Order's Divine Attributes could help fuel speculation: Learned and Giving Edited January 25, 2020 by Honorless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
