The Ring is an organization of cultivationspren[1] in Shadesmar, the Cognitive Realm of Roshar.[2]
Composition and Purpose[edit]
The Ring consists of multiple members, as Wyndle refers to it as "they".[3] They view the Old Magic's touch on Lift as a blessing from their "mother",[3] the same term that Wyndle uses for the Shard Cultivation.[4][5] The usual purpose of the Ring is not clear, but they appear to have authority among cultivationspren, as Wyndle was compelled to take an assignment at their request.[3]
History[edit]
The cultivationspren decided to start trying to form new Nahel bonds after other spren such as the Cryptics and the honorspren started to do so.[6] As they were not sure how exactly to accomplish this due to the length of time since the Recreance,[6] the Ring served as a committee[1] that oversaw the process.[3]
Wyndle's Assignment[edit]
Wyndle was happily living in Shadesmar when the Ring chose him to try and form a Nahel bond with someone in the Physical Realm. He was not happy about his mission and referred to it as an "atrocious duty".[2] The Ring was additionally responsible for the specific choice of Lift as a bond partner for Wyndle, a choice that he did not agree with. However, the Ring viewed Lift's youth and her experience with the Old Magic as positive traits in a candidate.[3] Wyndle found that bonding with Lift was easier than expected[6] and speculated that the Old Magic had caused her to exist partially in the Cognitive Realm.[7] Wyndle later accepted the fact that he had needed to be sent on an assignment.[8]
