Peakspren are a subset of spren that exist on Roshar. They are capable of forming a Nahel bond, granting people the abilities of the Order of Stonewards.[1]

Appearance

In the Physical Realm, peakspren take forms that appear to be made of stone. They can hide inside real rocks if they wish; when they want to reappear, they emerge as if breaking their form out of the rock.[2]

In the Cognitive Realm, peakspren inhabit bodies formed of stone. The population of peakspren is quite varied as to the type of stone, which seems to include every variety found on Roshar.[2] When they touch or rub parts of their body together, it sounds like stone grating together; they also move heavily and their voices sound rather like grinding rock.[1][3] The skin of peakspren is etched with cracks that emanate molten light and sometimes seem to form shapes akin to a glyph or symbol. They wear human clothing but tend to be bald.[1][2]

Culture

Peakspren share some culture, speech patterns, and mannerisms with the Unkalaki.[2] They have different tribes or nations in Shadesmar, such as the Kasiden peakspren that originate in the east. There is a rivalry between these groups just as arises between humans.[1]

History

Include approaching peakspren ship about passage from Celebrant- these being the Kasiden.[4]

Known Peakspren

Ua'pam

Ua'pam is a peakspren bonded to Zu. [1]

Unativi

Unativi is Ua'pam's cousin, and the captain of the barge that takes Shallan, Adolin, and their party from Urithiru to Nameless.[5]
