During the [[Heraldic Epochs]], honorspren were created by [[Honor]].{{book ref|sa3|108}} At some point, inspired by the [[Herald]]s and their [[Honorblade]]s, the honorspren, along with nine other types of sapient spren, began forming [[Nahel
As his death approached, Honor passed the responsibility of creating honorspren to the [[Stormfather]]. The great spren made a few of them, including [[Sylphrena]], yet soon the [[Recreance]] arrived and the vast majority of honorspren became [[deadeye]]s. Syl was the only survivor among the Stormfather's children, as she was slumbering at the time. Her fate wasn't known, though, and Stormfather didn't create any new honorspren for centuries. Eventually, he made ten. Those ten created more honorspren, with their children creating more and so on.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
Honorspren are generally warlike and oath-bound, with a strong military tradition.{{book ref|sa3|47}} While fairly isolationist, they are willing to let other spren live alongside them, though it seems a non-honorspren cannot attain a high rank in their society. They believe themselves to be oathbound to follow Honor's path and serve what they think to be his interests. However, they are also highly respectful of the [[Bondsmith]]s, and the [[Stormfather]] Bondsmith in particular. The latter is likely due to many of them seeing the Stormfather as their parent or progenitor.{{book ref|sa3|108}}

Honorspren are not liked by other types of sapient spren, and seem to avoid them in turn. In [[Celebrant]], there are none on the streets.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Rather, they have their own cities, forming a grand nation with the capital in [[Lasting Integrity]]. They have several strongholds, including [[Unyielding Fidelity]], in the
According to Syl, while honorspren hate [[inkspren]] and highspren, they merely distrust [[Cryptic]]s.{{book ref|sa4|20}}

== Abilities ==
Honorspren have the ability to sense an upcoming [[highstorm]] days before it arrives.{{book ref|sa3|20}} This is likely related to their origins as Stormfather's children. In the [[Physical Realm]], they can use [[Adhesion]] to stick small, light objects together
They can form a [[Nahel
