Interview #874: Twitter 2013 (WoT), Entry #10

Kristi Deming (12 January 2013)

Any chance of finding out what “Bao” or “The Wyld” mean since we have no glossary?

Brandon Sanderson (12 January 2013)

Both are a reference to Beowulf, and I meant the Wyld to mean “predator” or, in more common tongue, he who will kill the dragon.

Footnote

The name “Bao” also came from Bao Pham, a fan who has worked (along with Jimmy Liang, blademaster “Jaim” of The Yearly Brawl) teaching sword forms for JordanCon and the WoT track at DragonCon.
