{{spren info|abilities=[[Windrunner]] magic, [[Splinter]]|Featured in=[[The Way of Kings]]}}
'''Honorspren''' are a subset of [[spren]]. They are [[Splinter]]s{{ref|17s|4254|post|66703|Are Honorspren Splinters, or do they hold Splinters?}}, presumably (at least mostly) of Honor. They are part of the magic of the [[Windrunner]]s, an Order of the [[Knights Radiant]].
At the time of ''[[The Way of Kings]]'' [[Syl]] is the only known Honorspren, though there are more spren around. [[Syl]] says she is an honorspren.{{ref|?|836|26|Is Syl a bonding spren?}}
{{quote|I bind things, Kaladin. ... I am honorspren. Spirit of oaths. Of promises. And of nobility.|[[Syl]] to [[Kaladin]]{{ref|b|sa1|c|67}}}}
While Syl starts as a [[Windspren]], not all Windspren become Honorspren. Windspren and Syl are kind of cousins.{{ref|?|979|29|Are all wind spren really just unbonded honor spren?}} She becomes sentient by bonding with [[Kaladin]]. This bond gains her the ability to think in the Physical Realm and in return Kaladin gets something from this bond, too.{{ref|?|836|26|text=Is that bond a Nahel bond?}}
{{quote|'I'm willing to stop it, if you want,' she said. 'But I would go back to being as I was before. That scares me. Floating on the wind, never remembering anything for longer than a few minutes. It's because of this tie between us that I can think again, that I can remember what and who I am. If we end it, I lose that.' ... <br><br>
'If I'm not cursed,' Kaladin said softly, 'then why do I live when others die?'
'Because of us,' Syl said. 'This bond. It makes you stronger, Kaladin.'|Syl explains to Kaladin about their bond{{ref|b|sa1|57}}}}
