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, the 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.[2] When they touch or rub parts of their body together, it sounds like stone grating together; they move heavily and their voices are also rather like grinding rock.[1][3] The skin of peakspren is etched with cracks that emanate light and sometimes seem to form shapes akin to a glyph or symbol. They wear human clothing but also 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.[1]
