| − | The '''Ring''' is |
+ | The '''Ring''' is a group of [[spren]] in the [[Cognitive Realm]]. |
| − | == |
+ | == Purpose == |
| + | It is not certain why the Ring exists, but it is likely that they serve some governmental purpose for the spren. They can force spren to do things that they do not want to do. |
||
| − | The Ring consists of multiple members, as [[Wyndle]] refers to it as "they".{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} They view the [[Old Magic]]'s touch on [[Lift]] as a blessing from their "mother",{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} the same term that Wyndle uses for the [[Shard]] [[Cultivation]].{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|118}} The usual purpose of the Ring is not clear, but they appear to have authority among cultivationspren, as Wyndle was compelled to take an assignment at their request.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} |
||
| + | ==Previous actions== |
||
| − | ==History== |
||
| + | They were responsible for [[Wyndle]]'s choice of [[Lift]] as a bond-partner. This was based on the fact that Lift had previously visited the [[Nightwatcher]].{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} They thought it would be easier to bond somebody partially in the Cognitive Realm. They may be attempting to reform the [[Knights Radiant]] by forming bonds with humans {{cite}}. |
||
| − | The cultivationspren decided to start trying to form new [[Nahel bond]]s after other [[spren]] such as the [[Cryptic]]s and the [[honorspren]] started to do so.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} As they were not sure how exactly to accomplish this due to the length of time since the [[Recreance]],{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} the Ring served as a committee{{wob ref|1384}} that oversaw the process.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Wyndle's Assignment=== |
||
| − | Wyndle was happily living in Shadesmar when the Ring chose him to try and form a Nahel bond with someone in the [[Physical Realm]]. He was not happy about his mission and referred to it as an "atrocious duty".{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} The Ring was additionally responsible for the specific choice of [[Lift]] as a bond partner for Wyndle, a choice that he did not agree with. However, the Ring viewed Lift's youth and her experience with the [[Old Magic]] as positive traits in a candidate.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Wyndle found that bonding with Lift was easier than expected{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} and speculated that the Old Magic had caused her to exist partially in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa2.5|4}} Wyndle later accepted the fact that he had needed to be sent on an assignment.{{book ref|sa2.5|14}} |
