The '''Ring''' is an organization of [[cultivationspren]]{{wob ref|1384}} in [[Shadesmar]], the [[Cognitive Realm]] of [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}

==Composition and Purpose==
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}} They may also have authority over [[mistspren]], as Wyndle notes that they were considering bonding [[Ym]], who was of the [[Order of Truthwatchers]] before his death.

==History==
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}}
