Fused Glyphs

[Herald of Second Chances]

I was looking at all of the Radiant Order glyphs and went to see if the Fused had any, only to find absolutely nothing. Do they not have glyphs? Are there glyphs just the surge they control? Someone please help me.

Yes, the Fused have glyphs, they're in the back Stormlight end pages.

Technically, that's the Voidbinding Chart, but the Fused Surgebind. WoBs:

You've recently said that Rosharans call everything Surgebinding. So my question is: does Khriss call what the Fused do "Surgebinding"?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.

Chaos

Interesting. We still don't know what Voidbinding is, but we'll get there eventually, I'm sure.

Brandon Sanderson

You will.

Voidbinding, and what Renarin does, we are still very confused about how much--

Brandon Sanderson

I am happy that you are very confused about that, because I haven't explained it very much.

Argent

Ok.

Brandon Sanderson

And Renarin didn't figure it out very much.

Argent

And he hasn't figured out it much, yeah. And we're not even sure whether he's a Voidbinder.

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.

Argent

He's probably a Voidbinder, right. Then I'm not going to ask you that, because you're going to say RAFO.

Brandon Sanderson

Yup.

Let's talk about Renarin, and Voidbinding. So, with that page we talked about, Renarin Voidbinds. I asked about visions, you pointed to Voidbinding chart, he Voidbinds. Is that using Stormlight to power abilities different from the Surgebindings we've seen?  

Brandon Sanderson

Yes. 

Argent

Is that what voidbinding is? 

Brandon Sanderson

No, but close. You're on the right track. We are gonna get into that, I'm not gonna tell you what the chart means, and things like that. But yeah, something really weird is happening there. 

Footnote: The chart referenced is the back endsheet in The Way of Kings.

Glyphs are a Vorin construction (or, rather, the religion that developed into modern Vorin), not a general Rosharan one. If the pre-Recreance Radiants used Glyphs for the Fused Brands, wo do not yet know about them. If the Fused have their own Singer-derived Symbology, we also do not yet have data on that either.

Hope that helps
