PleatherDuster Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I just finished rereading Oathbringer, and I'm curious about the Cryptic spren that Wit bonds in the Epilogue. It seems to be "suck" there at the broken palace. Do we know why it can't just return to Shadesmar? If a spren begins bonding a human and the human dies before being fully bonded, does the spren get trapped in the Physical Realm? Is that what happened with Eshonai and Timbre? Also, a side question. Wit mentions the Fused may have a secret reason for digging up the rubble. Any thoughts on that? First I though they were also looking for the Cryptic. But is there something else supposedly going on at the palace location?
Quantus he/him Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) It had been drawn to the Physical Realm to bond Elokhar. When Elokhar died it was stuck in the PR without a Bond, mentally blocked the way most spren are before their Bond restores their minds.

But it is not a more powerful Cryptic or anything like that. Oathbringer Glasgow signing (Dec. 2, 2017) Quote Questioner What lie could draw a Cryptic to Elhokar?
