== History ==
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 Bond]]s with humans, giving rise to the [[Order of Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa2|87}} Back then, they had a reputation for being discerning in their choice of who to bond with, more so than many other spren.{{book ref|sa1|60}}
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}} Those ten created the rest of the honorspren as their children as did their descendants (the ten created some children of their own, those children created others, and so on).
 
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 vast majority of honorspren became [[deadeye]]s, with [[Sylphrena]] -- one of Stormfather's children -- the only known survivor, as she was slumbering at the time.{{book ref|sa3|108}} 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}}
The honorspren have previously tried to conquer Shadesmar. Their culture is similar to the Alethi, and they both have a reputation as warmongers. {{book ref|sa3|47}}
 
Eventually, the honorspren grew into a large nation. Sometime in the recent past, they tried to conquer all of [[Shadesmar]] -- a failed attempt that left them with poor reputation among other sapient spren.{{book ref|sa3|47}} As a result, these days the honorspren keep to themselves, and it's dangerous for them to travel Shadesmar alone.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
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 arrived, other honorspren started bonding with humans.▼
