TheDoomsday Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Does anyone know why they have such similar names? It just seems weird to me. Was Treledees named after one of the 5 scholars (as in Denth)? This just always stood out to me, and I'm wondering if there is an explanation.

Windrunner Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Brandon has mentioned this somewhere, I believe the annotations, but I'm on mobile so I cannot check. Vara'Treledees was Denth's scholar name, like Talaxin for Vasher and Shashara for Glorysinger. It's rather like people naming a child after the angel Michael in Christianity. It's a well known name with a religious/historical connection (since I'm not sure how well known it is that the Scholars were all Returned). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army of Sheep Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 I remember that confused me my first time reading Warbreaker. I thought Denth was sneaking in and out of the palace. The ending, of course, disabused me off this notion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
