Lore & Background
In Rhythm of War the honorspren put Adolin on trial for that betrayal, but Maya, the spren of his Shardblade, testifies that the spren and Radiants together chose to give up their powers, even knowing it would destroy the spren, so there never was a betrayal at all. Many honorspren then agree to bond with humans again.
