Mistborn Llama: Origins

[Aether]

I have come to realise that the Mistborn Llama is a Brandon fandom inside joke, but I haven't been able to locate how it originated. Would anyone care to enlighten me?

 

EDIT: I found this though:

@BrandonSandrson I just saw your 'Mistborn Llama' pic, and still laughing. What's the story behind it?

@shnar It was the name of my old writing group.

I think that is more or less the origin... It is also known that Llamas are unnatural enemies of Cat Inquisitors:

 

Kurkistan

And also to give cats various powers through Hemalurgy, resulting in uber-powerful Catquisitors forming a Caton of Inquisition and taking over the Cosmere (then renamed the Catsmere)?

Brandon Sanderson

Of course. They'd have to fight the Mistborn Llamas, though.

[Kurkistan]

And the Catquisitors will reign triumphant!

Bryce Moore (author of Vodník) was in the writing group, and he was writing a book about alpacas called Cavern of Babel.

So? that's a fact many would know. What brought this monster for a word? An inside joke?

 

don't be in such a hurry. Sit down, let's have a conversasion. Want a cookie?

Woah! I didn't expect to get an answer from one of the Masters themselves! Thanks, Peter!

Will they accept recruits from cat-analogues on different worlds? We've seen axehounds, and there are never dogs without cats, so there must be hatchetcats or adzelynxes somewhere. On a side note, please say adzelynxs ten times fast, because it's Awesome.

I WANNA BE AN AXE-QUISITOR!!!!!

Only if you prove your felinicity in conflict with our abominable foe, the Mistborn LLama, and crafty adversary, the Dog Kandra!

 

Edit: Though we are not averse to you forming Orders of Adzelynx Penumbrant

I don't know, but I would love to have a Mistborn Llama shirt, though.
