The '''Cryptics''' are a race of sentient [[spren]] that dwell primarily in the [[Cognitive Realm]] of Roshar.
 
They appear to be related to the [[Order of Lightweavers]], the sixth order of [[Knights Radiant]] which has access to [[Soulcasting]] and [[Lightweaving]].{{17s ref|1999|post|35866}}{{book ref|sa1|70}}

== Bond-holders ==
*[[Shallan Davar]] has a special relationship to the Cryptics that allows her to draw them using her Memories, despite not seeing them physically with the exception of [[Pattern]].{{17s ref|4220|post|66166}} She is on the path to becoming a Lightweaver.
*[[Elhokar Kholin]] refers to creatures with the appearance of Cryptics that he sees in mirrors. This might indicate that he is on the path to becoming a Lightweaver.{{book ref|sa1|58}}
 
== Trivia ==
Before their name was revealed Brandon said "truthspren" was a reasonably accurate way to refer to the Cryptics. This is perhaps a reference to the truth they require to grant access to the Cognitive Realm.{{17s ref|1999|post|35866}}
