It's unknown whether the Cryptics were created deliberately by a [[Shard]], or if they arose naturally from [[Roshar]]'s loose [[Investiture]]. At some point in the past, there were some very intelligent, dangerous Cryptics, which resulted in the creation of many negative stereotypes about Cryptics.{{wob ref|15652}} During the [[Heraldic Epochs]], they, like many other sapient spren, began forming [[Nahel bond]]s with humans to mimic [[Honorblade]]s, leading to the creation of the [[Order of Lightweavers]].{{book ref|sa2|87}} During the [[Recreance]], the vast majority of the older Cryptics died, leaving none alive to remember how the Nahel bond worked.{{book ref|sa2|75}}
Over time, the Cryptics managed to recover somewhat, and by the late [[Era of Solitude]], they ruled over one of the largest cities in [[Shadesmar]], although they did not stray far from it often.{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa3|47}} At some point, they were engaged in some sort of political disagreement with the [[honorspren]], possibly related to the latter's attempt to conquer [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa3|47}}
