KnightGradient Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Does anyone remember when the king of Idris(don't have the book on me or else I'd name him) was all,"Hallandren, the place is a dragons nest!"? For some reason I feel the fact that there aren't any dragons on Nalthis(as far as we know) to be strange. Where did he get the idea of dragons from? Why did he know what they were? This is crazy speculation but I just can't stand the idea of him knowing what dragons are without Nalthians(?) being descended from the Yolish. I will try to find the quote later today sorry. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arook Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I had not thought about it but it could be a concept carried down from Yolen. If that is the case it could mean Endowment transplanted instead of created humans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) For all we know, Endowment's holder could originally be a Dragon, which given Nalthis' penchant for austere and dazzling colours, and the way Dragons and their scales are, isn't a bad assumption to make Edited July 18, 2015 by ParadoxSpren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascendant Warrior Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 NUTIKETAIELWere the original sixteen Shardholders after the shattering all human? BRANDON SANDERSONUh … RAFO. There are three races on Yolen. Three sentient races. Link Also, this thread has some interesting speculation about the original races of the Shardholders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkum Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 There definitely could be something there, but on the other hand, there were never dragons n earth, and we have that concept. likewise so very many other things. it isn't impossible for them to have simply come up with the idea from somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that is true, I'm not sure I buy the idea of Brandon just putting that in accidentally, and I doubt if it wasn't accidental that it means nothing. But we can't rule that out yet.

But we can't rule that out yet. I'm inclined to agree. he tends to do things like that on purpose, or at least with a fair amount of forethought. I just wanted to make sure that we weren't discounting the possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 It could be perhaps a Dragon visited a somepoint of Nalthis' history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
