Left Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 So I was reading The Hope of Elantris this morning on Brandon's site and I came accross the fact that there's an Aeon Ati “Well, there was a time when almost no Elantrian went without a Seon. I’m beginning to think that Lord Spirit may just be able to fix this city—after all, he fixed AonDor. If he does, we shall find you a Seon of your own. Perhaps one named Ati. That is your own Aon, is it not?” “Yes,” Matisse said. “It means hope.” So, I did a search for WoB's on Ati, and I couldn't find any relating to this. SO. Coincidene? I storming well think not! This could just be another Shash thing, but, I do find it interesting. Ati was supposed to be a great bloke, I'm guessing there's supposed to be some kind of correlation. Anyway. Opinions??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The character Matisse was named after a student of his wife's. She did an excellent book report on Elantris, a la books like Dragonology, not at the time aware that that her teacher was dating Mr. Sanderson, and ended up giving the two of them the book report as a wedding gift. Mr. Sanderson wrote this story for her, and the only three-letter combination in her name with two vowels was "Ati" so he had to make that the Aon. Just this once, I think we have to accept that it was coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah its a total coincidence that has been discussed to death. And it is Aon not Aeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanaj Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 maybe ati was from Sel before he accepted the shard of ruin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 maybe ati was from Sel before he accepted the shard of ruin? Ati, like all the original Shardholders, is from Yolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
