I didn't see this discussion anywhere else so I thought for my first topic post I might as well try starting it. (Please inform me if my sight or searching skills are just inept and this has already been started elsewhere, I would be grateful!)
We hear from Syl in the released Kaladin chapter 9 that she is the only honorspren to have defied the Stormfather and crossed from the Cognitive Realm into the Physical Realm.
My questions about this are:
How does Syl know she is the only one to have crossed if -She has been in the Physical Realm for about a Roshar year (I think I am not entirely sure of the time between Kaladin's Amaram's army day's and Syl's current statment).
How would she know if another honorspren had taken the crossing while she was in Shardesmar as we have a quote from Janah from the Shallan's Chapter 3 that the spren have cities so if there are a city wide number of honorspren then how does one notice if a few go missing?
2. What does Syl define as an honorspren? (I know this has been discussed in other Topics but I thought I would include it due to its relevance) -
We have WOB that there is much debate among scholars and the spren themselves what an honorspren is and who can be called such. So when Syl say's She is the only honorspren to have crossed which spren is she exactly referring to? Does she mean Spren related to the Windrunner's order or does she mean honorspren in a more genral sense including multiple orders?
So that's about it this topic is about what you think Syl meant by honorspren and whether she has a firm bases in knowledge for her decleration she is the only honorspren to have crossed over.
Oh and also if you think she was only referring to Windrunner spren then does that mean there are still possibilities for other order spren claiming to be honorspren themselves to have crossed before Syl.
Finally feel free to badger me about grammar, sentence structure, spelling, poor formatting or anything else I have managed to mess up. Thank you for your time .
