== Appearance ==
 
== Influence ==
[[Spren]] are either of Cultivation, of [[Honor]], or a combination of the two.{{17swob ref|post|358666454}} Spren of Odium are also known to exist, but these are named [[Voidspren]] as a distinction.
 
In Words of Radiance, mankind is referred to by some spren as 'sons of Honor'. This could suggest that spren are not part of Honor.
It has been theorized that Cultivation is the reason why [[Shinovar]] is so strange compared to the rest of Roshar.
 
Something about her presence on Roshar, be it intentional or otherwise, makes it easier for animal life there to attain a degree of sentience.{{qawob ref|1148|42792}} In Arcanum Unbounded it is said that the sentience comes due to some animals bonding to a spren.
 
Many people in-world might consider her to be in hiding in the conflict with Odium, but Brandon doesn't consider her to be actually hiding.{{wob ref|8669}}
 
=== Name of Holder ===
It was speculated that [[Reya]], who was said to have shed a single tear and had [[Tear|a star]] named after it, may be the name of Cultivation's holder, however Brandon and Peter confirm that she is important for a different reason.{{17s ref|topic|6568}} Hoid calls her "Slammer", albeit this is also not what she's called.{{17swob ref|post|4501129472}}
