Inheriting Thresh's enduring question about where they truly stand, Sprig did not falter but instead matured into a confident and sure leader for their people. Their resilience proved vital, as they successfully survived through to Book 12.

Lore & Background

Sprig's existence is defined by the pivotal moment Thresh cast them away from the last abyss, an act that transitioned them from a free-born young one to Cael's ward. This salvation was not merely physical but spiritual, as Sprig took on the weight of Thresh's existential inquiry regarding their place in the world.

Rather than being paralyzed by this inherited uncertainty, Sprig evolved into a pillar of stability for the Bound. Their growth from a rescued child to a definitive leader underscores their unique role within the series, culminating in their confirmed survival into Book 12.
