\|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|~~books~~first appeared=[[The ~~Stormlight~~Way of ~~Archive~~Kings]] }} Sylphrena was born some time before the [[Day of Recreance]]. She was one of the first [[honorspren]] to be created by [[Stormfather]] rather than [[Honor]].{{book ref\|sa3\|108}} Although she was too young to form a [[Nahel bond]], she did so anyway with a man named [[Relador]].{{book ref\|sa3\|95}}{{book ref\|sa4\|55}} He took part in only one battle before dying, which sent Syl into a state of deep slumber. This led to everyone assuming she had passed away, but it also saved her from becoming a [[deadeye]] during the Recreance, as befell with so many of her siblings.{{book ref\|sa3\|108}} Over a thousand years later, she was found and reawakened. The Stormfather, not willing to let her come to any more harm, tasked [[Notum]] with keeping her safe in one of honorspren cities.{{book ref\|sa3\|108}}{{book ref\|sa3\|110}} However, she wasn't happy with staying put. Sometime around the year 1170, she felt drawn to [[Kaladin]], a soldier in [[Amaram]]'s army, and the way he treated children as a squad leader.{{~~book ref\|sa2\|11~~cite}} Against the wishes of other honorspren, she ran away to bond with him. This led to her kinsmen posting a huge bounty for bringing her back to their capital, [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref\|sa3\|102}}{{book ref\|sa3\|108}} === Forming a Bond (1168 - 1173) === }} Syl is one of ~~the~~ the first [[honorspren]] the [[Stormfather]] created rather than [[Honor]]. Because she is the only one to survive the [[Recreance]], he feels very protective of her.{{book ref\|sa3\|108}} The Stormfather commands her return and either approves of or instigates a bounty after Syl sneaks away to bond Kaladin. This changes with time, however, as he both accepts their bond and bonds a human himself.{{book ref\|sa3\|102}}{{book ref\|sa4\|30}} === Relador === == Trivia == * Sylphrena is only of the only four people who spoke in <span style='font-variant: small-caps'>small-caps</span>, the other three are: [[Odium]],{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|6}}{{book ref\|sa3\|119}}{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|4}} [[Cultivation]],{{book ref\|sa3\|114}} and [[Dalinar]]{{book ref\|sa4\|107}}{{book ref\|sa4\|108}} * In an earlier version of ''The Way of Kings'', Syl was named "The East Wind."{{wob ref\|2251}} * Sylphrena originally came from an unpublished Cosmere work called ''Climb the Sky''.{{wob ref\|8338}} * Sylphrena's name is inspired by the word "sylph", or air spirit, and "sylphlike" can be used to describe a slender young woman, both of which fit Syl to a certain degree.{{wob ref\|9250}}
