Brandon Sanderson I say “Say-Zed”, but in-world they don’t say that. That's probably because he, like most people, pronounced her name like the word serene. Originally, he didn't like Raoden's name eitherbut this came, mostly, because he had trouble pronouncing it. Only after I had gotten those 200 pages read, I started to get the feel of the story and where it was taking me. That felt pretty good,I gotta say.Though Brandon doesn't really care about pronunciations, he specified at a signing that Jasnah is pronounced like the Greek or Hebrew "J" as a "Y" sound. He also remarked that one of the taped versions (I omitted this earlier because I didn't catch the publishers) was just awful about thisthey stopped calling for clarifications about halfway through the first book. Kelsier says something close to “Say-Zed”, but Sazed himself says something closer to “Saahzd”, more along the flowing way the Terrans speak, but they speak different languages, but you can say it … (Which I don't want to do. It's easy!Community Software by Invision Power Services, Inc."I will eat cake when it is left unattended. Kelsier was the primary mentor of Vin and crewleader to the gang who was credited for overthrowing the Final Empire. Pronunciation guide for the name of people and places. Since this was my first book signing ever I didn't know what to expect except what I've read about the others.He did give a small speech concerning the same news and events about book twelve, the new series, the prequels, and the possibility of a couple of one-off stories outside of the main characters. Seriously enjoy them.
I once asked how to pronounce Morgase's name, and these two disagreed, and had a nice argument about it over dinner. Remembertwo hard vowel sounds formed by the Aon, every other vowel is soft. She did in fact offer to publish his book, but RJ realised it was not a good idea to have his wife as his sole source of income, so took it elsewhere. (Still have the third in hardcover.) These three lines introduce each character and one of their primary conflicts, and do it in a simple, clear way.Maintaining this feel with the new first scene was important to me, even though it could be argued that the first line of chapter one is a bit of POV error. So: "YAHS-nah". I ended up liking it better, if only because it has a little more true Latinate feel to it.My magic systems are generally like a new science for the world in which they are practiced, so I like the feel this gives. It was one of the great building blocks in Epic Fantasy's earlier years. Just lamenting. [More like this] Mazrim Taim, Moridin, Moghedien, Semirhage (dont forget her. It's just that I'm a great Tolkien fan and I...[interrupts; Q keeps talking for a few seconds but is incomprehensible] But as I say: I write in English, and in English very few names a phonetical......and uh...so I don't...so I don't use that. I avoid these, but in this case, I felt that cohesion was more important than strict POV, right here.I also did a second massive cut just after Raoden was thrown into the city. So I'll have to look. Just make a short snake hiss with a z at the end of it, with no syllable change inbetween the two. (He pronounces it like "Bella". ).I say Sayzed, as does Kelsier. That sounds so wrong to my ears after the way I've been saying it in my head all this time.Since he has a nickname it kind of implies that they wanted to shorten it to one syllable. Wait, are you sure I don't get that one right? I began to feel comfortable with the length, and the next month I pushed out the last 3000 some pages.
I can't change things too much, or I'll start contradicting myself. [laughter].And the master of the terrible pun is on this call.Pun away.
I'm not going to tell you. That's why I developed the quick reference chart, and my friend Isaac did that beautiful metal table for a visual reference—I absolutely love how it looks.The name "Ars Arcanum" deserves a note as well.
