Rorzikel Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 They do have a Nahel bond. To Odium. Quote “Sja-anat was a little like both. During the long millennia before this Return, she’d mostly slumbered. Without her bond to Odium she had trouble thinking. The Everstorm appearing in Shadesmar—long before it had emerged into the Physical Realm—had revitalized her. Had let her begin planning again.” This is what enables Ulim to think while Syl and the Radiant spren are reduced to subspren. 11
Honorless he/him Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Oh. Oh. Oh wow. Did not notice that. So spren might've been able to think on the Physical Realm via Connection to Honor when he was alive? Or perhaps Ba-Ado-Mishram? Hmm, no, that would probably have been mentioned by the spren if they could once keep their mental faculties while in the Physical before the Recreance or Honor's death. So this is something exclusive to Odium & his spren.
mathiau he/him Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Does that mean before BAM was Unmade every spren could think normally in the PR?
Rorzikel Posted May 31, 2021 Author Posted May 31, 2021 Maybe that's the great betrayal that the spren hate the Singers for. 3

apepi Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 I think it probably relates to spren being in different forms than the cognitive one, which spren typically are. Sja-anat is like in between the physical and cognitive(I am not sure if spren are or not?) and this impacts them greatly(might be worse than them just being on the physical one?, small theory I have). And having connection to something helps them keep their mental state. When Syl was losing her connection to Kaladin she began to lose it. Though I don't think it has to do with being connected to Honor, in the release valve WoB, he hinted that spren are still connected to Honor. But I think that Odium has more connection to Odium than the spren have to Honor though, being alive helps. 1

It's quite possible none of them knew of a time like that? It could totally just be Odium/Voidspren though. Edited June 2, 2021 by Lunu’anaki 2

Highspren all probably were alive before Recreance, and many others, like Inkspren and maybe some Cryptics. 2

That makes sense. ...But now that I think of it we actually haven't heard much from any of those spren have we? The most is from Ivory (Jasnah's Spren) and he's very unclear about many things when he references them. I feel like there is a lot that the spren know which we the readers are ignorant of.
