    Interview: Oct 9th, 2015

    Question

    Navani’s emotion fabrial, are those correspondent to the Thaylen Passions in any way?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes, but the Thaylen Passions would’ve come second to some of this.

    Question

    So through a cultural filter--...?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes. There is no magic to the Thaylen Passions, they are a religion but with no magical component. Sometimes a religion is just a religion.

    Footnote

    Note: What? I feel a little lost in this question, can someone elaborate? Note Answer: Navani has an emotion fabrial that is laid out like the double-eye. The Thaylen people swear by and maybe worship the Ten Passions. For instance, Rysn exclaims at one point “Oh Craving Passion of Need!”
