Interview #1038: Steelheart Signing Report - Argent, Entry #16

Question

Is Cultivation’s Shardholder still alive.

Brandon Sanderson

Good question, what do you think?

Question

I want to say, but that’s based on my knowledge before I read Lift’s interlude from Words of Radiance . Now I am leaning towards no. Based on that interlude, it looks like spren have essence from both Honor and Cultivation. It’s almost like they exist in a spectrum, on one end of which is Honor, and on the other - Cultivation; so there are spren that are, for the lack of better example, 90% Honor and 10% Cultivation, and there are spren that are 15% Honor and 85% Cultivation.

Brandon Sanderson

That’s a very astute observation!

Question

And since we know that Honor is Splintered, then it might be the case that Cultivation is also Splintered, and their Splinters form the spren.

Footnote

In a prior signing report it was revealed that Cultivation’s shardholder is indeed alive.
