    Interview: Sep, 2012

    Yados

    Between the Parshendi and the Alethi harvesting gem-hearts, how long has it been since a Chasmfiend got to finish pupating?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Aha. I wondered if someone would ask that. Much like whaling in our own world, there is a big ecological price building for what is going on here. You are right to worry about this.

    Interview: Sep, 2012

    Arcanist

    6. As Dalinar gave his Shardblade to Highprince Sadeas, was his motivation only to free the Brigdemen as “Thank you” for the help? Or did he already plan to build a team from soldiers who are loyal only to him?

    Brandon Sanderson

    He certainly saw the side benefits. However, his primary motive was to make a statement. Not just as a thank you, but as a way of proclaiming to all of the Alethi "What we have been doing is wrong. This wealth is not worth the lives of men."

    Interview: Nov 6th, 2012

    Question

    The question is, can you read it (the Alethi alphabet)?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I can’t read it, Isaac can.

    JOSH

    Isaac can’t read it.

    BRANDON SANDERSON

    Can’t he?

    Josh

    No.

    BRANDON SANDERSON

    He came up with it!

    I told you where it came from, the writing system, right? That I told Isaac, “I want it to look like waveforms,” and he developed it to look like waveforms on the little thing when you speak voice- and things like that, and that was my goal for the [writing] system was something that was a line with waveforms across it. And he developed it then.

    Interview: Mar 4th, 2014

    QUESTION

    The coats that the Alethi wear, that the officers wear. Is it a Prussian sort of thing?

    BRANDON SANDERSON

    I'm thinking in my head probably french early 1800's. Just past Napoleonic. Bound tails.

    Interview: Mar 29th, 2014

    Question

    What are Oldbloods?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Oldbloods are the...years ago Alethkar was ruled by a different group of people. A different, like, dynasty. It's been overturned and it's been a long enough time that they're not really a threat. But to acknowledge they're an Oldblood, they wear the tattoo that means, "We used to rule this place." And so, it's just a lineage of people in a dynasty that used to be the kings of Alethkar.
