Plantilla:Spren info Honorspren are a subset of spren.
They are Splinters[1], presumably (at least mostly) of Honor. They are part of the magic of the Windrunners, an Order of the Knights Radiant.
Syl says she is an honorspren.[2]
“I bind things, Kaladin. ... I am honorspren. Spirit of oaths. Of promises. And of nobility. ”
At the time of The Way of Kings Syl is the only known honorspren, though there are more spren around.
While Syl starts as a Windspren, not all Windspren become honorspren. Windspren and Syl are kind of cousins.[4] She becomes sentient by bonding with Kaladin. This bond gains her the ability to think in the Physical Realm and in return Kaladin gets something from this bond, too.[2]
“'I'm willing to stop it, if you want,' she said. 'But I would go back to being as I was before. That scares me. Floating on the wind, never remembering anything for longer than a few minutes. It's because of this tie between us that I can think again, that I can remember what and who I am. If we end it, I lose that.' ...
'If I'm not cursed,' Kaladin said softly, 'then why do I live when others die?' 'Because of us,' Syl said. 'This bond. It makes you stronger, Kaladin.'
”
—Syl explains to Kaladin about their bond[5]
