Kipper he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Alright, so in this WoB, Brandon says that there is someone from Threnody that has shown up in "many Sanderson novels." QUESTION For the Dangerous Women story, are you going to write anything again in that world? BRANDON SANDERSON That world will show up again. Silence probably won't, but the world itself, yes. It's called Threnody, it is one of the Cosmere worlds. There's not a Shard there but there are interesting things happening. There's actually been a character in other books who's from Threnody. It will eventually be clear who that is, but they have shown up in many previous Sanderson novels. QUESTION Would that be Hoid? BRANDON SANDERSON Hoid is not from Threnody. Good question though. Hoid is from Yolen. FOOTNOTE Nazh is from Threnody. Emphasis added.Any theories as to who this could be? Nash is one possibility. This WoB would seem to support him: QUESTION I noticed Nazh's name at the bottom of the illustrations - is that a character that's going to make an appearance in the future books? BRANDON SANDERSON He's already appeared in the books. Very very cameo-ish tangential thing, you have to be really looking to spot him. ARGENT Books, plural? BRANDON SANDERSON He wasn't in The Way of Kings, no. Not on screen, I don't think. Brandon's use of the word "books" and exclusion of WoK seems to imply that Nazh has appeared in other books outside of SA.Plus, his name appeared on the Alloy of Law map... Ideas? Criticisms?

WeiryWriter he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Nazh uses "shadows" as a swear on the Shattered Plains map, the only world (that we have seen) use it as such is Threnody. Nazh also annotated the updated map for the teen editions of the Mistborn trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoidhunter he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 In WoR there is an ardent that is sketching pictures of the bridgemen...he mutters something about their tattoos being hard to draw correctly...I believe that this is supposed to be Nazh...I could be wrong...

As far as I know, he is just presumed to be Nazh, but it is a very reasonable presumption, judging by his annotations earlier in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) It was confirmed to be him at the DC Words of Radiance Signing "Q: In the middle of WoR, there's a scene where Kaladin's hanging out in the barracks, and Rock kicks out an ardent sketching them. Is that the guy drawing all the pictures?""A: That is Nazh. You've found him. You have discovered Nazh!"

Blaze1616 he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm pretty confident Brandon just meant Nazh. One of the issues Brandon has when answering questions is that he does not know how Realmatically aware the fan is. That is why Brandon often asks whether the person is a "Sharder," to know if the fan is a regular of this site. As such, when he doesn't know, he just has to make a guess based on the questions they ask. Given that the fan didn't know the title of the story, Brandon probably just assumed the asker was not from this site, and so it would be safe to bet that the individual didn't already know about Nazh's origins. He was then proven right when the person guessed Hoid. Moreover, the confirmation that Nazh is from Threnody came in August 2014, and the WoB in your post is from March 2014. This means that the person asking the question could have been a Sharder, and Brandon was giving another tantalizing hint, one which he revealed five months later. I'm now 99% positive he is referring to Nazh, after finding the dates of the WoBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AerionBFII he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Im sure i've found a Terrisman in Bridge 4 He was a tall handsome man, whos arms seemed entirely too long for his body. - WOR Chapter 80 To Fight The Rain He talks to Shallan. I've also just reread Misborn and totally forgot that Demoux got himself a Terrisman girlfriend. Do you think she is the Worldhopper who was in Warbreaker? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a terriswoman worldhopper in Warbreaker? How do we know this? Also I thought Brandon said that there was a terriswoman in WoR not a dude.

Kipper he/him Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yes. The nurse taking care of Lemex is considered to be one possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingglass she/her Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Brandon hasn't mentioned a terriswoman in WoR, but he has mentioned that there is a terriswoman in Warbreaker. I'm sure he said something like a Terriswoman is running around and we can find her. If she is a member o 17th Shard then it stands to reason that she would also be on Roshar unless Brandon specified its a Terrisman there instead. Do you have WoB conformation on either?

He did say there was a Terriswoman running around in the interview Miyabi did with him around the release of Steelheart, he later clarified to say she was in Warbreaker (here's a thread discussing it). He has never (to my knowledge) mentioned a Terrisperson on Roshar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingglass she/her Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I thought he has. I think that there are a limited number of worldhoppers anyway (probably 1 or 2 from each planet) so since we already have Demoux and the Terriswoman from the Scadrial then if there is another worldhopper on Roshar other than Demoux it would be the woman. Also if she is his girlfriend maybe she doesn't like separation so she follows him around the Cosmere so they are at least on the same planet.
