'''Honorspren''' are a subset of [[spren]]. ▼
They are [[Splinter]]s{{17s ref|post|66703|Are Honorspren Splinters, or do they hold Splinters?|date=05 October 2013}}, presumably (at least mostly) of Honor. They are part of the magic of the [[Windrunner]]s, an Order of the [[Knights Radiant]]. ▼

== Appearance ==
In the Physical Realm, honorspren look like [[windspren]].{{cite}} They can change their appearance and choose who they show themselves to.
In [[Shadesmar]], honorspren are blue-white and as large as humans.{{book ref|sa3|89}} They appear to be wearing clothes, but the clothes are part of their essence and cannot be changed without [[Stormlight]]. Some honorspren buy physical clothes to wear instead.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Of all spren, honorspren have the most human mannerisms.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
== History ==▼
The first honorspren were created by [[Honor]]. When his death approached, Honor gave the responsibility of creating them to the [[Stormfather]]. The Stormfather made a few, including [[Sylphrena]]. All except her were killed during the [[Recreance]], becoming [[deadeye]]s. Believing her dead along with the others, the Stormfather went centuries without creating any new honorspren. When he did remake them, he only created ten.{{book ref|sa3|108}}▼
Syl was recently rediscovered to be asleep and brought back to the other honorspren. When she realized a new Desolation was coming, she left [[Shadesmar]] and went to the Physical Realm to form a [[Nahel Bond]] with [[Kaladin]]. This caused the honorspren to post a huge reward for her return.{{book ref|sa3|102}} After the Everstorm arrives, other honorspren start bonding with humans.
== Culture ==
Honorspren are not liked by other types of sentient spren. In [[Celebrant]], there are no honorspren on the streets.{{book ref|sa3|102}} They have their own cities. The capital is [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} They also have a stronghold called [[Unyielding Fidelity]] near [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa3|102}}
== Nahel Bond ==
While Syl starts as a [[Windspren]], not all Windspren become honorspren. Windspren and Syl are kind of cousins.{{qa ref|979|29|Are all wind spren really just unbonded honor spren?|date=Apr 15th, 2013}} 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.{{qa ref|836|26Is Syl a bonding spren?|date=Sep 22nd, 2012}}

The bond is considered extremely intimate, as it involves the mixing of souls.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
