They dwell mostly in the [[Cognitive Realm]]. It is where the powers of creation come alive, shaped and given cognizance by the ideas and concepts of collective experience of sentient creatures being personified as an external entity over time into spren. They have their own societies, politics and cities there. Though the [[Shadesmar]] was built by humans and other sentient species, the spren shape, rule, and live there.{{ref|b|sa2|c|1}} The transition of spren into the [[Physical Realm]] leaves holes in their memories,{{ref|b|sa2|i|9}} impairs their cognitive functions in some ways, and even alter their appearance.{{ref|b|sa2|c|3}} Once they make the transition, they cannot affect the Physical Realm except in very minor ways.{{ref|b|sa2|i|9}}
Spren being far more extensive and numerous than the [[Seon]]s and the [[Skaze]], Splinters of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]] respectively, is one of the reasons Roshar does not have the same problem with travelling to the Cognitive Realm
Spren are deeply connected with the [[Knights Radiant]] and [[Surgebinding]] with the [[Nahel Bond]], and spren are also used to create [[fabrial]]s.
