'''Spren''' are fragments of the [[Adonalsium|powers of creation]] that have gained sentience through the influence of sapient beings on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2|3}} They are vastly varied in their appearances, characteristics, and levels of intelligence.{{book ref|sa2|1}} They are deeply connected with the [[Knights Radiant]], as a [[Nahel Bond]] between humans and spren areis what allows the former to use [[Surgebinding]].{{book ref|sa1|57}} They are also used to create [[fabrial]]s.{{book ref|sa3|33}}
 
Spren are far more extensive and numerous than the closest comparable entities, [[seon]]s and [[skaze]], Splinters of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]] respectively. This is one of the reasons Roshar does not have the same problem with travelling to the Cognitive Realm as [[Sel]] -- even though Honor is [[Splintering|Splintered]] just like the other two Shards, on Roshar, spren act as a "release valve" for the uncontrolled power of Honor.{{wob ref|4129}}
