WayneSpren he/him Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 My theory is that the Terriswoman worldhopper in Warbreaker is Demoux's girlfriend in HoA. I've looked through the books for Terriswomen and my only other candidate is Tindwyl. Also, another worldhopper, Iyatil from WoR, always wears a mask, so we don't really have a description as her. Could she be the Terriswoman, or are they different people? 1
Guest Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Many people think that the Terriswoman in Warbreaker is the nurse that Siri finds attending whatshisface. This has been discussed ad infinitum, and I'm sure that Kurk or somebody will find links. I was under the impression that Iyatil was some sort of Parshendi, although thinking back, I guess I'm wrong.

Could she be the Terriswoman, or are they different people? Oh my goodness! I just finished a reread of HoA. It specifically describes the Terriswoman as 'pretty'. Is there any reference in Warbreaker about how she looks? maybe that could be the clue to confirming it... It would also make sense I guess, if she is Demoux's girlfriend, seeing how Demoux ends up a worldhooper too. Good catch! 1
Kurkistan he/him Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Yeah, it's been theorized and then later confirmed that Aslydin (she does have a name) is a worldhopper/member of the Seventeenth Shard. Many people think that the Terriswoman in Warbreaker is the nurse that Siri finds attending whatshisface. This has been discussed ad infinitum, and I'm sure that Kurk or somebody will find links. The nurse thing was a guess on my part that Brandon got all smirky at. Edited August 27, 2015 by Kurkistan 1
Windrunner he/him Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 The problem I have with her being the nurse is that, unless I'm mistaken, elsewhere Brandon's hint to find her is to watch for a Terris-sounding name, and the nurse is unnamed. It doesn't preclude the possibility of Aslydin being the nurse, but I think it implies at least that she's elsewhere too. 1

We have no very detailed descriptions how Terrissers and Nalthians look like; we know that Terrissers are higher than most Scadrialans (but we don't know the proportions between Scadrialans and Nalthians), and we can assume that Terrissers have brighter skin than Hallandrenians (different climates and stuff). Have we seen any woman in T'Telir, that is discribed as pale or something like that?
