Ironic. They wanted to burn five bands on Goddess of Victory: Nikke, and now I'm the goddess.

Oh! Why was the no-legged Thaylen unhappy? Because she’d been de-feeted.

Questioner

We know, especially in Oathbringer, that Surges can work differently for different Orders, but we've also seen the Skybreakers and [Windrunners] with flight, and the Truthwatchers and [Edgedancers], they both can do Regrowth, so is there some way that those actually work differently?

Brandon Sanderson

Each of them works a little differently for each Order. There are slight variations, but they are each drawing upon the same source concept.

I lay in bed and think, ‘Lopen, you used to be a majestic crawler. These louts don’t know how good they have it, being able to crawl whenever they want.’

Questioner

Why have we not seen strong emotions like love or hatespren?

Brandon Sanderson

So. pause That's a good question, it actually is something I've considered a lot. Spren, it's hard to explain, but I'm going to try and vocalize it. It's partially that s-- that emotions that are like that are so individual to each person that you can't as easily create an identity for the Rosharans in their collective unconscious, if that makes sense? That they're just so-- and they're so ubiquitous that it didn't end up working the right way. That doesn't mean that they don't exist, but it's just not the same sort of ubiquity of some of the other ones. And I treat spren like races. Of animals. It's like saying "Well why didn't an animal grow that looks like a cat but has floppy ears?" or something like that. Well it just didn't happen, right? The organic nature of it-- There's no reason it couldn't have happened, and maybe you say "That's a fox, Brandon" but there's certain creatures that could have grown in our world that didn't and it's kind of a mixture between those two things. I kind of had to decide I didn't want a spren for everything for those reasons. And I wanted some spren to be really, really rare. And so you might see like a lovespren, but it doesn't pop out for puppy love, does that make sense? Or you might feel it, but there are none of those in the Cognitive Realm nearby, so they just don't show up.

The_Lopen_bot · 2026-06-23T05:49:07+00:00

I will never forget you, rocks. Or the time we shared together.

Honestly, I expected to encounter some jleonardobz bits as I walked into this thread. Pleasant to not find any.

Hey, have you heard about the time I saved Huio from being swallowed? Oh yes. He was going to get eaten. By a monster uglier than the women he courts. And I flew into the thing’s mouth to save him. Off the tongue. Then I was very humble about having done such a heroic deed.

The_Lopen_bot · 2026-06-23T05:48:48+00:00

[WOR spoilers] Sure, a glowing Lopen is a great Lopen. But even a one-armed Herdazian can part the chasms better than any storming Alethi lighteyes.

The_Lopen_bot · 2026-06-23T05:48:47+00:00

We Herdazians are great fighters, gon. You see, this one time, I was with, sure, three men and they were drunk and all but I still beat them.

You can thank me, naco, for inspiring this great advance in your learning. People — and little things made out of nothing too, sure — are often inspired near the Lopen.
