WayneSpren he/him Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Rending is a glyph in the Rithmatist. Rending is a thing in Steelheart. (It's what a new epic's transformation is called). Shash is a slave brand meaning dangerous in Stormlight. Shash is a letter in Warbreaker. Post more overused words below! Edited July 24, 2015 by WayneSlider123
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I don't know if two uses in two different series counts as overuse. Stephanie Meyer's constant use of "chagrin" is an overuse. 2
Guest Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I don't know if two uses in two different series counts as overuse. Stephanie Meyer's constant use of "chagrin" is an overuse. LOL. Stephanie Meyer Someday, I will have to read her.
Topomouse he/him Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 If we are talking about word overuse, can we say something about "shard"? I mean, was it really necessary to use terms to call the armor and weapons used on Roshar in the same way of the pieces of Adonalsium?
Colours Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I think there was something about some of the Cosmere cultures sharing linguistic roots across worlds, so that part is more-or-less justified. As for the Rending... Reckoner-Rithmatist crossoververse with Lines that make evil Epic chalklings? Edited July 25, 2015 by Colours 4
Young Bard he/him Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Rending is probably just a coincidence, as Reckoners and the Rithmatist are different universes. Shash, however, might not be. I think we have a WoB that the influence from the shards mean that nearly all of the languages in the Cosmere were in some way influenced by the original Yolish language. I'll try and find it later.
WayneSpren he/him Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 There's also Ryshadium Horse (Stormlight) Ryshadium Glass (Alcatraz)
phattemer Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 well seeing as alcatraz is one big joke, that was probably on purpose. Also in alc1 is some high imperial.
Eagle of the Forest Path he/him Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Dominion (Elantris shard) -> dominance (Mistborn "province") Devotion (Elantris shard) -> devotaries (Stormlight "church") Ati (Ruin from Mistborn) -> Ati (Aon meaning "Hope") Window (Mistborn) -> Window (The Emperor's Soul) Edited October 15, 2015 by EagleOfTheForestPath 3
Curiosity he/him Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 There's also Ryshadium Horse (Stormlight) Ryshadium Glass (Alcatraz) Are you thinking of the Sands of Rashid?
Khyrindor he/him Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 when the dark oculator is torturing Grandpa Smedry, something about Ryshadium is mentioned
Kaladin al'Thor Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 So during Talns POV in the interludes of WoR, he ends it by saying "How long has it been.", like 20 times in a row(now every time i read that phrase, Michael Kramers voice pops into my head). Now as I reread Brandon's books, I notice he does usethat phrase.. A LOT! I swear that phrase is used by every single POV character at some point, most of them mulitiple times.
