manukos Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Ok i posted a the outline of this to the stormlight discord server but i thought it would be a good idea to reach more sharders , but before that and before i gather more down voting arrows than Kaladin's shield during the tower approach, let me make it clear that this is a joke now that this is settled , lets dive in our protagonist is a brown skinned lower class citizent , acompanied by a snarky and fabulous blue translucent spirit thingy with mystical powers , and a way for nonconventional flight . and dont get me started on the name , it is like Sanderson didnt even try , Kaladin? come on! that is only one letter off for those of you who havent caught on already i am talking about Aladin , yes disney's Aladin , he has the genie and a flying carpet , i am not going to even mention that he crushes on a high born woman. but i guess that kaladin has nipples so atleast that is different , and an important change of his character .... actualy do we know for sure if kaladin has nipples ? can we get a WoB on that please ?

Yata Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 ahahah I never considerate this. Anyway it is mainly a coincidence, the reason for Kaladin's name is rooted in another word. It's started by the word "Paladin" and Brandon worked on it to make it an Alethi's name. Still it is a great and ilarious coincidence ...nice catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezrien Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 My mental image of Kaladin will never be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth Of The Night Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Riffraff...bridgeman. I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer, would they see a shash brand? No Syl, they'd find out there's so much more..to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as Yata said, one of the reasons Kaladin has the name he does is that it's a play on Paladin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yezrien Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 The Alethi language is inspired partly by semitic languages, which is bound to produce some similarities. I never made the Aladdin connection, but Kaladin has always reminded me of Saladin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
