Questioner

Adolin has this connection with Maya. Does that have anything to do with why spren are not pursuing him as a Radiant?

Brandon Sanderson

RAFO.

Adolin's sword in Oathbringer, its name is Maya, which I think is cool cause that's my name, but is that-- is she going to become more important?

Brandon Sanderson

That is what we call a Read And Find out. No promises, I can't say either way. Can't give you spoilers.

Maya

Before I read Oathbringer, I decided that if I had to pick an Order, I would be an Edgedancer. And then we got to the very end of Oathbringer, Mayalaran. It was very interesting, because my name is Maya, and I'm an Edgedancer, and I have long brown hair. And it kind of threw me for a loop. So I have to ask, who did you base that character off of?

Brandon Sanderson

That character is not based on anyone specific, but maybe I was channeling you somehow.

Would Maya have wanted to bond with Adolin if she were alive?

Brandon Sanderson

I think so.

Questioner

Is there anything you can tell me about Maya that wouldn't be a [RAFO].

Brandon Sanderson

Oh wow, not a lot, let me think. You will see her again in Book 4. That's not a RAFO!

Questioner

It sounds like Adolin's sword Maya might be able to be resurrected?

Brandon Sanderson

*presumably nods yes*

Questioner

Is it possible that other swords could be resurrected as well?

Brandon Sanderson

Hmmmm, the coveted RAFO card.

Questioner

Is Adolin unkilling Maya? RAFO?

Brandon Sanderson

I'll give you a [RAFO] card.
