Interview #1152: Calamity-Seattle, Entry #34

Question

I kind of envision the Old Magic working a little bit like Hemalurgy, where some– takes a part of the Physical DNA of the person and transmutes it onto the Cognitive DNA because everything seems to be a Cognitive shift for the person, am I thinking along the right lines?

Brandon Sanderson

You are thinking along very– Yes you are thinking along the right lines. I won’t tell you exactly but you are thinking along the right lines.

Question

And then the curse Kelek’s Breath, is that a clue as to the origin of some of the Heralds?

Brandon Sanderson

Erm… Explain why you think it might be.

Question

Uh, well, Warbreaker–

Brandon Sanderson

Mmhmm

Question

The use of Breath…

Brandon Sanderson

Uhuh

Question

It seems like they have similar strength to somebody who has extra Endowment

Brandon Sanderson

Okay.

Question

So I’m wondering if they come from– I can’t remember the name..

Brandon Sanderson

The Heralds– You’re wondering if the Heralds come from Nalthis?

Question

Yeah.

Brandon Sanderson

The Heralds do not come from Nalthis, but that is an excellent question.
