'''Highspren''' are a type of sapient [[spren]] capable of forming a [[Nahel bond]].{{book ref|sa2|59}} Bonding with one makes someone a Knight Radiant of the [[Order of Skybreakers]].{{book ref|sa3|40}} Unlike the other kinds of sapient spren, highspren did not stop bonding with Skybreakers after the [[Recreance]].{{wob ref|9240}}
== Appearance ==
Highspren espouse order and law, focusing on obedience and following legal codes.{{book ref|sa2|59}} They are infamous among the other spren for being strict and inflexible, with [[honorspren]] in particular disliking them.{{book ref|sa3|108}} They seem to be fairly isolationist, with none to be seen in [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} It's possible highspren have their own settlements, as [[Jasnah]] appears to have visited them to gain information about past [[Desolation]]s.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}
They seem to highly respect [[Nale]], the Skybreaker [[Herald]], and will only bond the people he presents them with.{{book ref|sa3|47}} Several of them accompany the Skybreaker training excursions to observe and assess the hopefuls, with each highspren waiting for one who would impress them, though it's possible that the ultimate decision of whether or not to bond a person is formed by the entire group.{{book ref|sa3|90}}{{book ref|sa3|92}} Once the bond is formed, they seem to have a largely commanding role in it, as it is up to them whether or not a Skybreaker is considered to have successfully accomplished the [[Order_of_Skybreakers#The_Fourth_Ideal|Ideal of Crusade]].{{book ref|sa3|90}} Highspren are much more distant towards their bonded Knights compared to most Nahel spren.{{wob ref|16373}}
