The only signing I'm going to is the release party.
-
Not in order.

Leyten is another one of our friends. He is a math teacher, just like his cameo in the Rithmatist.

People have paid over a thousand dollars for charity to get a role in Words of Radiance.

You guys didn't notice me before?
-
No, I didn't choose them, but I did approve them.

The height indicator character only goes at the beginning of a block of text. Not at the beginning of each sentence.Also, spaces between words have a horizontal line.
-
It happens. I can't really quantify it. Also, I just checked the paperback sitting next to me, and it's there.
-
Do you have a quote on that? Anyway the answer is no.
-
That's what we've seen so far. The future could be different. Also, there are quite a few other writing systems in use on Roshar.

Current plan is for the new ebook illustrations to be higher resolution than the old high-res ones we put on the website—with a high enough resolution to look good on retina screens. We'll see if it actually happens, though initial signs look good. But anyway the images we gave them to put in the ebook will be the exact ones that we also put up on the website.

It's been in plain sight for three and a half years, people.

The glyphs are in Alethi. There is a phonetic component to the glyphs too.
-
"The Valley" is listed on the map.

It's partially the troll elder's fault—I can't remember if I said it here, but Anna's white hair completely disappearing at the end indicates to me that her memories should never have been wiped. But it's mostly their dad's fault for indoctrinating self-repression, which isn't what the troll said.

Oh Brandon, reading the epilogue at LTUE before the book comes out. He did this for Way of Kings too. Of course, then he didn't tell people it was the epilogue. I don't think it's such a good idea to post this one this time. Two weeks and two days, people.

Alethi is not pronounced like English. The writing samples that we have so far are transliterations of English. Of actual Alethi language, most of that hasn't been revealed yet.

PeterAhlstrom replied to Harakeke's topic in General Brandon Discussion
A line of text is written without picking up the pen. So every letter has upstrokes and downstrokes and sidestrokes. How it looks will vary from person to person. But the ideal letterforms are to be completely vertically symmetrical, which Navani's handwriting isn't—she has more obvious upstrokes on the vowels, and her writing is slightly tilted. -

Oh right, Q. Yeah, a K. And we just used the Y for all Ys whether they were consonants or vowels. Remember, on Roshar, the Alethi script would be used to write Alethi and never English. The transliteration was done by the translator in order to give a flavor of what Alethi writing is like. -
That's taking their conversation too literally. The two decades (also approximate) he avoided Navani includes a lot of the time after he met his wife.
-
Yeah, even with the old Starcraft, I played Use Map Settings games most of all.

Hey, in the book it says Kaladin designed it! I think he was channeling the creativity of some dude named Isaac. Who really is a genius.

No, we always just used the English vowels. The transliteration is one-to-one except for W, X, C, soft G, ch, sh, th. -
The Bridge 4 patch says Bridge 4. (The 4 is on the top.) And yes it's the shape of a bridge over a chasm. Designed by Kaladin himself.

I've heard it will NOT be in the church.
