Updating the Oathgate Spren section to add that they refer to themselves as gatekeepers. I'm also adding a reference from Rhythm of War that states that some of the gatekeepers are following the Stormfathers request of making the Oathgates operational between the Physical Realm and Shadesmar again.
m (Updates the chapter that was referenced for Singers bonding windspren. Also, it isn't explicitly stated that they bond windspren for nimbleform, so I added that they might, rather than that they do.) |

Oathgate spren reside over the [[Oathgates]]. They call themselves the gatekeepers{{book ref|sa3|116}} They take the form of enormous, statue-like humanoids, many times taller than a person, wearing armor and holding fittingly large spears. They always appear in pairs, with one being mother-of-pearl shimmering white, while the other is shimmering black.{{book ref|sa3|112}} They act and speak in concert, with no visible differences in their opinions or demeanor.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
The Oathgate spren facilitate transfer between Oathgates, with any pair being able to transport anything on the Oathgate's physical platform and in its control chamber between themselves and a matching Oathgate in either [[Urithiru]] or one other city.{{book ref|sa3|1}} Their existence is a crucial element of the Oathgates' functionality, as an Oathgate can be rebuilt so long as the spren are left uncompromised. It appears they are bound to the eleven gemstones that are used to operate the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|117}} While the Oathgate spren can be corrupted, this does not impact their ability to send travellers to uncorrupted ones.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}
In the past, those spren also allowed people without the [[Surge]] of Transportation to travel to and from [[Shadesmar]]; however, the [[Sibling]] forbade it to them shortly before their departure. While the Oathgate spren are highly regretful about it, they are physically incapable of disobeying their orders.{{book ref|sa3|116}} Although many of the gatekeepers uphold the Siblings order, some of them have listened to the Stormfather's request to allow people to use the Oathgates to travel between the Physical Realm and Shadesmar once again.{{book ref|sa4|22}}
