king of nowhere Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I just looked the chronology on the coppermind wiki, and it states that kelsier was born in 997 FE. Vin was born in 1005 FE. That is also confirmed in kelser's article. The source is stated to be in the books, and i don't have them with me right now to check. However, wasn't kelsier definitely older than that? he regarded vin as a daughter, and that don't seem to fit well with him being only 8 years older. i also came to the idea that he was an accomplished crime lord for a long time; would be pretty difficult to do all the stuff he did if he got captured at age 21. Also brandon remarked that he inserted the lines about kelsier mentioning a daughter because people were creeped off when they sensed some romance between him and vin; and that's not the kind of reaction people would have if there were only 8 years of difference between them. So, is it a mistake of the coppermind, or what else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter he/him Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah that's wrong, it should probably be circa 984FE, since he died at age 38 in 1022FE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiosity he/him Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 There's a dialogue in Well of Ascension that confirms that he's 38. I don't have a copy though, so I can't quote it here… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
