Ok so I know that Tian and Taan are not world hoppers. However, these two characters share two very similar characteristics.
Both like rocks... Tian in an innocent boy like wonder, Taan in an insane "I have the Elantris disease' way, as he was a sculptor before he got 'sick'
Both carve little horses.
Tian a wooden one which he gives to Kaladin... then reappears in a little junk shop
Taan sits carving a little horse out of stone which he gives to the children.
Has anyone seen these links?
Little horse theories?
I wonder if it is just a coincidence... being that they are both Branden Sanderson characters or if this is some sort of little clue towards the spiritual realm... like reincarnation or something...
Thoughts?
