    Interview: Jul 29th, 2006

    Brandon Sanderson

    Another focal chapter. I like how this one turned out. The fountains were a last-minute addition. Originally, I'd planned executions, but I wasn't sure how to do it. I knew I needed something dramatic and memorable, but I didn't want to be so cheesy as to do something like a guillotine. Since I'd already established that there were fountains in the city, I think this way created a distinctive image.

    One worry in this chapter is the population. There are a lot of people in Luthadel, and packing them all into one square is kind of a stretch. I hope that it would be believable that they would gather this many people together, and I changed the executions from single-people to four-at-once in order to make it seem like the Priesthood was taking the large population into account.

    On Scadriel, the city Elendel is named for Elend. Is Luthadel also named for a notable historical figure?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes.

    Will we ever meet them, or hear about them or anything? [whoever Luthadel was named for]

    Brandon Sanderson

    You might hear them mentioned at some point (he was pretty noncommital here) and you probably won't ever actually meet them.
