Battar Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/iOOo4zL.jpg I asked if there were any original names for characters we didn't know about, mentioning that Syl was my favorite. Originally, Syl was named "The East Wind". Edited December 7, 2015 by Battar 11
Stormgate he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if she says the name in passing or something. Later.
DreamEternal Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Awesome. Maybe it will become her nom de guerre after she and Kaladin becone more famous.
Mestiv he/him Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Or maybe Sylphrena means East Wind in spren language/dawnchant Edited December 8, 2015 by Mestiv 1
natc Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Wikipedia tried to convince me that the east wind is unlucky in ancient Greece
Stormgate he/him Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Wikipedia tried to convince me that the east wind is unlucky in ancient Greece Forgive me for over-nerding, but the East Wind is classically a force of destruction and something not to be desired. 1
Wyndrunner he/him Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Forgive me for over-nerding, but the East Wind is classically a force of destruction and something not to be desired. I feel like that fits in with Roshar as well. Seeing as : Everstorms originate from the East and the Stormfather sends storms from the West Though the East Wind could easily mean that Syl is a spren that doesn't just go with the flow.

Highstorms originate from the Origin, which is in the East. They travel east to west, whereas the Everstorm comes from the west. Looking at the map of Roshar in the books gives the Leeward and Stormward directions that verify this. 1
