Lightspren, more commonly known in Shadesmar as Reachers, are a subset of spren.
Appearance
In Shadesmar Reachers appear human though they have metallic bronze skin, similar to living statues.[1] They have bronze metal eyes with holes for the pupils.[2] The ones on Captain Ico's ship wear human clothing, though they are barefoot. Their clothing is tan and has many buttoned pockets.[1]
In the Physical Realm lightspren appear as a ball of light.[3]
Culture
They are often guides in Shadesmar as they like to travel to different places, trading and selling goods.[4] There are Reachers living in Celebrant[5] and Captain Ico's daughter once lived in the city and worked there at the moneychangers.[2]
Their ships are pulled by Mandras and they always have more than one as Mandras have a tendency to vanish.[1] The sailors don't carry weapons aside from knives but their ships are equipped with large harpoons.[1]
History
At some point Reachers were the spren of the Order of Willshapers[6] of the Knights Radiant but the Recreance seems to have instilled a mistrust in humans and their oaths in some of the Reachers, like Ico.[2]
The Reachers are the spren who picked up Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, Azure, Pattern, Syl and Mayalaran from the Rii Oracle's Lighthouse[7] and conveyed them to Celebrant in exchange for barter supplies.[1]
Abilities
The Reachers on Ico's ship are barefoot so that they can walk along the vibrating copper lines set into the ship. Shallan believes they use it to communicate.[1]
Nahel Bond
Reachers are the spren of the Order of Willshapers.[6]
