Here’s a thought: why did the Highspren NEVER explain the Recreance to the other Spren? The Skybreakers were the only order to refuse to break their oaths, but they were surely still in correspondence with the others when they made their decision. The Highspren of old are the only ancient Spren to remain (save Syl): in which case why did they seemingly never explain the Radiant Spren’s part in the Recreance? The Skybreakers were a known force to the Ghostbloods, I’d be thoroughly shocked if the Spren were unaware of the Highspren continuing Radiant oaths. I can understand not wishing to pursue Radiant oaths, but surely sharing context for the decision would have alleviated a LOT of resentment among the Radiant Spren
My guess is that because the Skybreakers were convinced that the only way to prevent another Desolation was to prevent the other orders from forming again, the highspren would have had a vested interest in keeping the truth from the other spren to prevent them from seeking bonds. The highspren didn't want that resentment to be alleviated (and even after the Radiants returned they'd probably still hide the truth because the Skybreakers decided to work with Odium and they would not have wanted the number of enemy Radiants to increase).
Yeah valid point, didn’t account for how much the Skybreakers’ ideas may have been influenced by the Highspren. As a sidenote you reckon we’ll see some Singer Skybreakers in the 2nd half of the Archives?
