'''Spren''' are fragments of the [[Adonalsium|powers of creation]] that have since then gained sentience due to human intervention on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2|3}} They are vastly varied in their appearances, characteristics, and levels of intelligence.{{book ref|sa2|1}} Most spren consist of the essences of [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]], or a mixture of both that leans towards either one [[Shard]] or the other. Spren that are attracted to emotions, like angerspren or fearspren, have more of Honor than Cultivation, and the spren that are attracted to natural phenomena, like decayspren or windspren, vice versa.{{qa ref|747|5}} There is also another spectrum of spren known as Voidspren that presumably consist of only [[Odium]]'s essence.{{book ref|sa2|3}} Some spren predate the arrival of Honor and Cultivation to Roshar, and perhaps even the [[Shattering]]. These are [[Splinter]]s of [[Adonalsium]] itself that it left behind intentionally and that have attained sentience on their own since then.{{17s ref|post|68628}}
