It seems to me that nahel-bond level spren that we've observed seem to fit on a *spectrum* from honour to cultivation. For example honourspren being very clearly very close to honour, and wyndle clearly being very close to cultivation, but the other types we're aware of (highspren, ivory, etc) not clearly belonging to either shard's intent. Why wouldnt the three god spren follow a similar pattern? Stormfather pretty much pure honour, the Nightwatcher pretty much pure cultivation, and say cusicesh representing a point where their magics and intents were balanced equally? Some kind of in-between godspren?

Well the bargraphs arent up to date for a start, and he's said that the novella (the Lift story) is now finished. So one presumes he spent a bit of time writing that, and hasnt updated either bar.

Reminds me of that joke about the one armed herdazian and the minor point of view chapter...

You're all assuming that the "skybreakers" that nalan is inducting him into have anything to do with the nahel bonded skybreakers of old, there's precious little evidence of that. Seems more likely to me that they're just nalan's little secret society of perfectly ordinary minions, plus whatever trinkets nalan hands out. Were that not the case, and szeth was going to be given a bond to a highspren, what need would there be for nalan to give him something as spectacularly dangerous as Nightblood afterall
