'''Ashspren''' 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 Dustbringers]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}

Their appearance in the [[Physical Realm]] is unknown. In [[Shadesmar]], they take the form of humanoids with ashen-white skin. When the skin stretches, it's blown away, revealing white bones beneath before quickly growing back.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Ashspren like to break things around them to see what's inside.{{book ref|sa3|27}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} Hundreds of them have died during the [[Recreance]], and unlike many others, it seems that ashspren never forgave humanity. They remain hostile towards them, blaming people's organized worship of [[Honor]] for their kinsmen's many deaths.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} They seem uninterested in reforming the [[Knights Radiant]], although it's uncertain how prevalent this outlook is.{{book ref|sa3|27}} Some, like [[Spark]], seem willing to cooperate with [[Odium]]'s forces, while others dislike and avoid the [[Voidbringers]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Ashspren seem to sail Shadesmar a lot, although lately, they avoid [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] due to the Voidbringer presence there. They can be found in fairly large numbers in the spren city of [[Celebrant]], though they speak their own, separate language. Like many other spren, they dislike [[honorspren]], although unlike many others, they seem to have no problems with [[Cryptic]]s.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
== Abilities ==
Ashspren are one of the few spren capable of forming [[Nahel Bond]]s with people, turning them into [[Surgebinder]]s with the power over [[Division]] and [[Abrasion]]. Like [[honorspren]], they can be unseen and unheard when they wish to be, making them excellent spies.{{book ref|sa3|107}}
