Difference between revisions of "Warbreaker"

''Warbreaker'' was partially inspired by Brandon wanting to explore what a story with actual living gods would be like, as this was one of the premises of ''[[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]'', but, in that story, the [[Elantrian|gods]] had lost their powers. To distinguish ''Warbreaker'' from ''Elantris'', he made the [[Returned]] lack any real power—instead focusing their role in the story on politics, prophecy, and providing wisdom—and also made the Returned forget their past life.{{wob ref|6034}} ''Warbreaker'' was also inspired by some scenes Brandon had been imagining from the beginning, like [[Vasher]] finally drawing [[Nightblood]] in [[Summary:Warbreaker#Chapter 56|Chapter 56]] and [[Lightsong]] healing [[Susebron]] in [[Summary:Warbreaker#Chapter 57|Chapter 57]].{{wob ref|7464}}{{wob ref|7468}}
