Queen’sWit she/her Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 This is kind of stupid, but my cousin and I can never agree how to pronounce these names. There are probably other ways, but these are our personal opinions. Aside from how Branderson says them, what do you guys think?

We airsick lowlanders are incapable of proper speech after all.
IllNsickly he/him Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 1: Shal-Lan 2: Sad-E-as.s 3: Rock... is always Rock, a very beautiful one. 2

Toaster Retribution he/him Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Pretty sure its Numuhukumakiaki’aialunamor actually :-)
Scion of the Mists Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 There's actually a whole Shardcast about pronunciation: 1

Weltall Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) For 1 and 2, neither of those. In my head they've always been Shall-an and Sa-day-chull (with the second and third run together). For 3, I always immediatley think of Humuhumunukunukuapua'a when I see his full name. No doubt because I'm an airsick lowlander. EDIT: Oh wow, the board's auto-correct feature decided it didn't like the syllable I use for the end of Sadeas' name so it replaced it with another one that's perfectly appropriate for him.

Elsecaller_17.5 he/him Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Brandon says Shallan closet to the second one (I asked him at a signing) IIRC he also said KAL-a-din and se-ZETH. I (unintentionally) have been saying Sadeas as two syllables with a very similar sound to sadist Edited July 17, 2019 by Truthwatcher_17.5
