    Interview: Sep, 2012

    llwvyn

    My question is in regards to the writing system. In Warbreaker, when Siri is teaching Susebron to read, she mentions the letter "shash," which we now know better as a Glyphair from WoK.

    so onto the questions:

    Are the two writing systems related, or is this a chance coincidence of names? If they are related, did they stem from the same source? (i.e., do the people of Nalthis and Roshar both descend from a more ancient group of people?) If I haven't gotten a RAFO yet, did the separation from these other people create the legends of being cast out of the Tranquiline Halls?

    Brandon Sanderson

    There are interesting connections around the cosmere between linguistics and some cultures. Though different groups of humans were created on different planets, the Shards all share a single point of origin. However, the Tranquiline Halls legends are not related to a Nalthis/Roshar connection.

    Interview: Feb 27th, 2016

    Is something wrong with Roshar's afterlife?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Uh, why do you ask?

    FeatherWriter

    Because of the Tranquiline Halls stuff? Needing to reclaim them?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Um. So, I'm... not going to answer anything about Roshar's afterlife.

    FeatherWriter

    Kay, alright.
