Interview #1115: Firefight Tour - El Cerrito, CA, Entry #66

Question

I had a question about how the Alethi women exhibit their wealth through their dresses. So I know there’s embroidery in the fabric [that you’re kinda disabling one arm?]

Brandon Sanderson

So the gemstones – like well cut gemstones and then fill them with Stormlight. The glowing is how they’d shown off their wealth.

Question

What kind of embroidery is it? Flowers? Patterns?

Brandon Sanderson

It is a lot of things but the Alethi’s don’t do the flower thing….It’s not really an Alethi thing. So you are seeing a lot of designs and hatchings. They may look a little Arabic to you. Or the glyphs and things like that you will see worked in but very stylized.
