Interview #826: Mistborn: The Final Empire Annotations, Entry #123

Brandon Sanderson (Chapter 25 Part 2)

I hope the timeframe of the various armies, with Vin and Kelsier running the distances, work all right. This is one of the toughest parts about writing fantasy for me, as I mentioned last time. I don’t have a really good concept of distance, and getting things moving at the right speeds on a national level, so they intersect at the right places… yeah. Tough.

I had to, for instance, decide how quickly a person pewter dragging could run, and how that compared to someone marching in an army, and how that compared to someone taking a canal boat. If you can do that math and get back to me, well, it’s too late. I already put it in the book. So, I hope I did it right.
