ND103 Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Just read a reading Brandon did which was one of Taln's earliest written scenes. Obviously the character/plotlines etc have changed massively since. That said I remember reading a WOB that Taln originally was supposed to have a plotline where no one was sure if he was a herald or just a madman. Having read OB, I'm pretty sure there's very little doubt in world that Taln is a Herald after all by this point. Has that story line of everyone being unsure about whether he's a Herald or crazy been completely abandoned? Any WOBs on that? Just thought it'd be pretty cool as a story to read of someone who's possibly a lunatic or a saviour but no one's sure one way or the other. Thoughts?
Pagerunner he/him Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 You'll see some more on this subject as the audio from the Skyward tour continues to be transcribed. Brandon did say at San Diego that he's incorporated some of those themes of doubt into Szeth's story instead. Which I presume is how he was treated by the other Shin.
ND103 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Posted November 10, 2018 Oooh nice... Looking forward to reading about that then... Sometimes I can't help wondering just how awesome the stories Brandon has reused in other places might have turned out if they'd worked the first time around!!
RShara she/her Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 I think we went through that a little in SA by now, with people not sure what Taln was? Just that at this point in SA, we do know for sure that he is a Herald, as do the residents of Roshar.
