alexlongwell Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I am listening to WOR again while at work and it was just mentioned twice about a nervous tic Gaz's has. He will glance to his side; the actual wording is "Occasionally, he would glance to the side, a kind of nervous tic." Just wondering is this has been discussed somewhere else as I can't find anything. I would have discounted it if it was mention just once, but so far it’s been twice in the same chapter.

Oudeis he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Doesn't it mention that this is because of his eye? The darkness on that side where he used to see things freaks him out, I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlongwell Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 It probably does and I just don't remember, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have read the books, just doing a re-read(or listen) while at work so its not the most thourough read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv he/him Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 It is mentioned in WoK in his POV, that sometimes he feels like if there was something in the darkness. Gaz had never gotten used to having just one eye. Could a man get used to that? He’d rather have lost a hand or a leg than that eye. He couldn’t stop feeling that something hid in that darkness he couldn’t see, but others could. What lurked there? Spren that would drain his soul from his body? The way a rat could empty an entire wineskin by chewing the corner? Gaz continued to watch Kaladin’s crew. And still that darkness waited for him. Like an itch that couldn’t be scratched. Like a scream that couldn’t be silenced. A tingling numbness that he could never be rid of.It would probably follow him even into death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoid Is Dead Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 There's a similar discussion(maybe a year/months ago?) like this I think, IIRC, he sees shadows, like Elokhar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobar14 he/him Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Do we know how he lost his eye in the first place? If nobody knows, what if he had an interaction with the Nightwatcher. The curse could be that his eye was taken and he sees things in the dark?

Grey Knight Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 As interesting as that would be, it is unfortunately not true. Gaz took a blow to the head in some battle that took out one of his eyes. It's directly stated in WoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Does anyone know the color of his other eye? We know some of the childen born of a darkeyes and a lighteyes can have one eye if each color. Losing his eye could also have been a loss of status. Plus, in a universe were weird connections are commonplace (Shallan's brother being the shardbearer Kaladin killed, Tvlak lugging radiants around in the same wagon, Amaram being Dalinar's friend) then maybe he could be related to some important lighteyes.

Patrick Star Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Awful puns incoming! I don't see what Gaz is so worried about. Maybe I can eyeball the problem with closer examination. I'm sure we can patch up the issue. I'm sure he must have been blindsided when he saw Kaladin in Kholinar. We should buy him a new iphone with retina display. Maybe he was scared of breaking the rules? After all, minimum punishment is 10 eyelashes per offense. I'm an awful human being/starfish, and should show myself out now. But yeah, he's nervous because of his limited vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Does anyone know the color of his other eye?

Someone asked this to Brandon and nothing, Gaz isn't born with heterochromia iridium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
