Kon-Tiki Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I believe, off the cuff, that they are green. I don't have a page reference for that but around the time that Moash is trying to assassinate Elhokar there's a reference to his eye color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equinox Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 According to the Coppermind wiki Elhokars eyes are light yellow as described in WoK. But they were changed later on to green in order to resemble Gavilar's eyes. There is also a Word of Peter (?) that explains the change: Quote Peter Ahlstrom Elhokar's eyes were described as two different colors in different places in the first book. It also said that he looked very much like his father. So we decided to change his eye color to match Gavilar's. We need to update the first book. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/305/#e11453 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this special case, I don't understand why the Coppermind describes Elhokar's eyes as light yellow. You have to read the footnote to find out about the change and green seems to be canon by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoiseSpren Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yellow would imply Bondsmith blade in family. That's why I ask. Brandon destroyed this theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
