Possible Shinovar name origin

[TrдVψLшR 0115 he/him]

I noticed something that probably means nothing, but was interesting nonetheless. The humans first gathered together on Roshar in Shinovar. Afterwards they dispersed throughout the planet. If you look at the bible account at Genesis chapter 11 verses 1,2, and 8 it talks about the Tower of Babel, and how the work on the tower was stopped. Consequently the people dispersed out into the entire earth. Anyways the point is the tower is located in the valley of Shinar. Probably not where he originated the name but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

It very well could be! The names of the Unmade come from ancient Mesopotamian dieties, the Knights Radiant chart comes from the Sephiroth in the Kabbalah. Brandon clearly likes picking stuff up from mythologies

Yeah, the Kabbalah thing really blew my mind

That sounds likely to me. Every fantasy author uses real-world influences, and it's very much like Brandon to use our ancient religious scriptures as inspiration for his worlds' religious scriptures.
