Seolin is an interesting character to me. Not because he really does anything distinctive—but because of how he developed. His name was “Saorn” in the original draft, by the way. I think I changed this because it was too close to “Daorn.” People also confused it with Shaod. I’m not certain if the new one fixes that problem, but it does feel a little more distinctive to me.
Regardless, Seolin is one of those characters who grew out of nothing to have a strangely large part in the plot. Again, I realize that he’s not all that original as a character. However, his dedication—and the way Raoden came to rely on him—wasn’t something I intended when planning the book. While I don’t believe in the whole ‘Books surprise their authors’ concept, I do enjoy the discovery of writing. Seolin is one of the characters ‘discovered’ in this way, and I am very pleased with him.
