+tabitreader Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 I've been looking for a list of in-novel curses that Brandon uses across his bodies of work. I cannot find one, so I hoped together we might create one for the first time ever. I listen only to audio books due to an eyeball artifact issue, so off the top of my head I've got: "Sparks" - Reckoners "Stormfather" & "Storms" - Stormlight Archive "Lord Ruler" - Mistborn (Era 1) Please add your contribution to what I have. When finished we should have a complete listing of all Brandon's novel curses from all his books from 2005-2018. I'm excited to see the full listing, even from his Novellas. Thank you fellow 17th sharders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+tabitreader Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Oh yes, I see there is a comprehensive list for Roshar, thanks for the link. "Cremling -SA" I assume this is Stormlight Archive, but I don't recall "Cremling" being a curse or exclamation at all. Perhaps related to the Dysian Aimians made of cremlings? Helmore, good one. As an audiobook reader, that one slipped me by. What about books like Elantris, Legion, Warbreaker, Rithmatist, White Sand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+tabitreader Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Brandon Sanderson is so amazing, he has time to create all these within his stories, plus so finely creates his stories too. Truly none compare even closely. Here is the list so far: Aisha - White Sand (Taldain) Sparks, Calamity, Slontze - Reckoners (Fractured States Earth) By the Eternal Sparks - Spoken by the alien named Larcener aka Calamity Specks - Spoken by male Firefight from alternate dimension Lord Ruler, By the forgotten gods - Mistborn Era 1 (Scadrial) Rust and Ruin, Rusts, Harmony, By the Survivor's scars - Mistborn Era 2 (Scadrial) Preservation's wings, damnation you straight to Ironeyes' tomb Helmore - spoken by Nazh who is from Threnody Austre, God of Colors, Tones, Colors! - Warbreaker (Nalthis) Idos Domi, Merciful Domi, Kayana, Sule - Elantris (Arelon, Sel) Nights, Nights afire, Days - Emporer's Soul (Teod, Sel) Dusts - Rithmatist (United Isles Earth) Shadows - Shadows for Silence (Threnody) Shattering Glass, National Union of Teachers, Crapaflapnasti, Walnuts, Sparrows, Jays - Alcatraz (Hushlands Earth) Stormfather, Storming, Storms, Airsick Lowlander - Stormlight Archive (Roshar) Since Roshar has such a deep and ancient history from characters from the archive. Here is a list compilated from ccstat in 2014 and updated 2017: Kelek's breath Kelek's tongue Ash's eyes Ishar's soul Nalan's hand Pali's mind—(Adrotagia) by Vedeledev's golden keys—(Kabsal) Talat's hand Living Heralds above Heralds send What in Kelek's name for Yaezir's sake Yaezir help Almighty above by the Almighty's tenth name what in the Almighty's own eyes? by the names of God himself Blood of my fathers Almighty, cast from heaven to dwell in our hearts What in Damnation's eleventh name?—(Sebarial) What in the Halls Passions--Thaylen Flick my sparks –(Lopen) Herdazian exclamation, a reference to sparkflickers. Blight it all – (Axies) presumably Siah/Aimian Dustmother—(Ton, a Bavlander in a Szeth interlude of WoK). Possibly Vorin? Glories within—(Szeth) presumably Shin Kali’kalin’s ghost –(Rock) Unkalaki, possibly referencing a Herald? Starlight-(Geranid) Speaker is a Vorin ardent with extended residence in the Reshi isles Sweet virtue” and “Oh blessed mother" from Wyndle, a Cultivation spren Drynets—a sailor curse implied to be quite inappropriate. Starving--unique curse used by food-obsessed Lift. Storming Mother of the World and Father of Storms Above. (Lift) Originally Reshi, Lift has travelled widely, so it is difficult to assign a parent culture. Ancient exlamations: Three Gods--(Taffa) Sweet wisdom of Battar--(Taffa) Thanks to all who participated in this thread and others like ccstat. Any more additions are welcome. This list is up to date as of August 2018. Prior to this year's release of the Legion omnibus and Skyward 1. Also, this is not updated for any new additions that Oathbringer (2017) brought.
