+Keeper Exile Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I realized that Wax and Wayne's names are similar to the "waxing and waning" phases of the moon. Is this on purpose, or is it just a coincidence?
Calderis he/him Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 It's coincidence. Scadrial has no moons. 5
Quantus he/him Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Coincidence and/or just a pun at best, I think.
RShara she/her Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Scadrial doesn't have a moon, Brandon just thought it was a great pun. Especially since they didn't have a moon so they wouldn't get the pun. 2
Weltall Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Yep. Here's the WoB: Quote Questioner Does the name [Wax & Wayne] foreshadow anything that's gonna happen? Brandon Sanderson No. I named them that because the pun made me crack up. It's not meant to be foreshadowing. The fun thing about that pun is, Scadrial not having a moon, means that those words exist in their language, it's not part of the common parlance like it is here, so they don't get the pun. Barnes & Noble B-Fest 2016 (June 11, 2016) In other words, it's just Brandon having some fun at his characters' expense. 2

Oh, Sweet Harmony. I guess we should be glad that ReLuur the kandra was not named LuNaar or GibBuss to further this awful "ha ha they don't get it in-world" effort at punning. 3

What are you talking about, LuNaar is an amazing kandra name! 3
