Inkthinker Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Have we got a clear determination of what the Shash ("dangerous") slave-brand on Kaladin's forehead looks like? Where it's placed, and how large it is? Has he got anything else on his face that's identifying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telcontar Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 No idea what it looks like exactly, but we know it's a glyph. And you can find examples for glyphs here: I suppose you know that already but still. The sixth bigger glyph, representing Shalash or her order could resemble the 'shash'-glyph. Then, Kaladin has two other glyphs on his front, that actually mark him as a slave. IIRC they are the glyphs meaning Sadeas (or maybe Amaram or however that lighteye who took Kaladins Shardblade is named) And you can find the Sadeas-glyph on the map depicturing the warcamps or on the map depicturing the battle at the Tower. Of course there should be the same glyph for Sadeas/Dalinar on both of them but I never managed to find the corresponding ones. Which is probably because glyphs can be altered in any way to resemble whatever they are supposed to mean. I would suppose that a simple glyph to mark a slave wouldn't be as elaborate as the same glyph meaning the actual Highprince. Finally, about the position of the glyphs, I don't know much about them, suppose they are in the middle of the forehead. I just seem to recall that they could be hidden by somewhat longer hair.
