Interview #987: Weller Book Works Signing - Josh & Mi’ch, Entry #35

Question

Shardplate, does it have to be fitted by a smith or does it just kind of magically…?

Brandon Sanderson

It magically fits to you.

JOSH

I’d like to see it fit to someone three foot tall.

BRANDON SANDERSON

If it’s within reason, it can fit.

QUESTION

But they do weld stuff to it to it?

BRANDON SANDERSON

They weld stuff to it to ornament it.

QUESTION

But that doesn’t really stick?

BRANDON SANDERSON

It won’t stay, it can get cut off and things like that. Yeah, and they paint them and things.

QUESTION

So the actual color is gray, right?

BRANDON SANDERSON

Dalinar’s color is the actual color.

QUESTION

He doesn’t have it painted, yeah. It’s kind of stone, right?

BRANDON SANDERSON

It’s not really stone, it’s more like a deep metallic, like an unbuffed steel sort of metallic. A dark charcoal metallic.
