JCHancey Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 http://www.bscreview.com/2010/09/brandon-sanderson-video-interview/ Any speculation on who else in his books they could be? There's the 3 from the interlude in Way of Kings, but he says there are more in his other books. /headasplode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munin he/him Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hoid, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 We know for sure that there is at least one Duladel. As this was confirmed by Brandon himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCHancey Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Of course Hoid, that goes without saying. Anyone notice anyone differently in his other books though? I'm pretty sure that was his implication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 That does seem to be the implication, that before Way of Kings, there are other planet hoppers, too. It's just in Way of Kings, they are more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munin he/him Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 We know for sure that there is at least one Duladel. As this was confirmed by Brandon himself. Not exactly. All he said was "There's no reason a Dula couldn't be a member of the 17th Shard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Admins of 17th shard and myself talked to Brandon last night for over 45 minutes concerning different theories we had and specific details. The question we asked was if Galladon was in WoK. He replied," That's an astute questions." We asked," Is there a Duladel on Roshar?" Brandon,"Yes" So yes there is proof that there is at least 1 Duladel on the planet. There were many other things we discussed that may come out eventually but not yet It did give us many smiles the things we were able to pick up. Rainbowrose, Nehex, or Josh could confirm this statement if you don't believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odium Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Vasher? Of any character we've met besides Hoid or a Shardhodler, he seems to have the most intimate knowledge of his powers. I think he's a good option for a planet hopper. Especially when you consider his near-immortal status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I would think the other planet-hoppers would be more subtle, and not viewpoint characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Stormblessed he/him Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 What dows the symbol on the front cover of the book, underneath the dusk-jacket, look like? I have a different version of the book, so am unable to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew the Great he/him Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Of Way of Kings? That's what I'll assume, since none of the others have symbols that I know of. Anyway, it's a shardblade, or so I thought. It looks distinctly shardbladeish. I'd totally draw it for you, except for my complete lack of artistic talent. And Chaos beat me to it. Again.

Deano Stormblessed he/him Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Is it same as the symbol that appears on the pages which say Part One Part Two etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just that good. Is it same as the symbol that appears on the pages which say Part One Part Two etc. Yes. It's actually a glyph, which are complex in their own right. When I went down to Josh and Mi'chelle's wedding, Austin (Nehex here) was showing me the glyphs he made from Brandon's lessons. It's incredibly interesting. We should get Austin to make a blog post about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kykeon Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 So, if there is a Dula, then can we safely assume that he is an Elantrian since many of them have some Elantrian blood in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Sure. I would think any planet hopper would have to be a magic user of no small skill, and Elantrians are some of the most powerful magic users we've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Stormblessed he/him Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Brandon says that after reading WoK, the crossover characters from other books will become easier to spot. Excluding Hoid, I have had little luck spotting crossover characters in other books. Anyone had better luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm curious if Ahir in TWoK is possibly Kiin from Elantris. He specifically says in TWoK "I've lost my Passion for cooking." Kiin had a strong passion for cooking in Elantris. Why else would Brandon put Passion in Italics? I asked Brandon about this instance and he tried to side track me by saying "there is a Dula in TWoK." I kept trying to pressure him if I was correct on this theory and didn't get anything back more than "I have neither confirmed or denied any other world hoppers besides Hoid and the Dula." What's your thoughts on Kiin=Ahir? Remember the Ahir is found in an interlude and is studying with a woman the different spren. Seems like someone trying to gain knowledge.

Link Von Kelsier Harvey he/him Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Brandon says that after reading WoK, the crossover characters from other books will become easier to spot. Excluding Hoid, I have had little luck spotting crossover characters in other books. Anyone had better luck? He actually tweeted recently (Tue Jan 4) that there is a character from Elantris in Mistborn. The quesiton is, did he mean the city of Elantris, or the book? I'm curious if Ahir in TWoK is possibly Kiin from Elantris. He specifically says in TWoK "I've lost my Passion for cooking." Kiin had a strong passion for cooking in Elantris.

That's interesting... Merits further study I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter she/her Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) re: the front cover glyph Brandon: The symbol stamped into the front of the first hardcover represents the Windrunners because of Kaladin's awakening as a Windrunner. Also because of Szeth, but mostly because of Kaladin. Edited February 19, 2011 by zas678 Just some formatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zas678 he/him Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have a theory about Blunt, the soldierish person who is with Thinker and Grump in the interludes. Grump's alias is Temoo (much like Raoden's alias in Elantris is Kaloo), is bald,and he speaks Dula. (And since he is a grumpy Dula, it leads many to believe that this is Galladon.) Blunt's alias is Vao (much like the First Returned is called Vo), has a soldier's build and is blunt in his behavior. Could Blunt be Vasher? The biggest evidence that I can find to deny this is that Blunt has darker skin, and that Blunt knows the same language as Thinker and Grump.
