Interview #698: Twitter 2011 (Cosmere)

Summary

Entry #1

atheistcanuck (21 Mar 2011)

The Almighty’s original name was Tanavast, yes/no?

Brandon Sanderson ()

Yes and no. The concept of the “Almighty” in Roshar has a lot of meanings, many of them wrong.

ATHEISTCANUCK

But the person who held the Shard Honor was originally named Tanavast?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Yes. You wiggled it out of me. That was the name of the original holder of the Shard Honor

Entry #2

Chaos

So Aona is a synonym for love, hmm? Is Charity the correct Shard name?

Brandon Sanderson

Not quite. I’m trying to remember what the guesses were for the other Shard on Sel. I may have dismissed them too quickly.

CHAOS

How about Mercy for Aona, then? The guesses for Skai’s Shard include Devotion, Obedience, and Order.

BRANDON SANDERSON

Okay, I was right, then. Ha There’s something very ironic in all of this.
