Summary spoilers for the whole series

A lightspren from Shadesmar that first tried to bond with Eshonai, who tried to shoo it away while in stormform. After Eshonai's death Venli finds the spren, hides it from the Fused, learns she can talk to it in rhythms and names it Timbre. The bond forms slowly during Oathbringer, and a theory on the page ties it to Venli becoming a Willshaper.
