Questioner
Can you tell me why Jasnah wanted to potentially assassinate her sister-in-law, the queen?
Brandon Sanderson
She felt that the queen was seeking to usurp power, for one thing, and was reckless for another. And so Jasnah was worried about the safety of the throne.

Is Kaladin related to Aesudan?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, but it's not a close relation. A very complex system of things, but yes.
Stormlightning
I was just wondering why he knew her...the melody she was humming.
Brandon Sanderson
Oh, he did. That is not because they're related.
Stormlightning
So it's something else?
Brandon Sanderson
It's something else. I thought that was a sideways question about Kaladin's mom.
Stormlightning
It kinda was, I thought maybe she hummed that and so that's why he recognized it.
Brandon Sanderson
No, good question.
Wyndlerunner
Queen Aesudan, when we see her in Kholinar, seems to have some knowledge of Gavilar's doings and his plans. And given Gavilar's propensity for trying to marry his children to members of secret societies, as seen with Jasnah and Amaram, was Queen Aesudan a member or affiliate of the Sons of Honor?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO!
Questioner
My question is about Jasnah, and why she tried to assassinate Elhokar’s wife?
Brandon Sanderson
Well, you’re going to need to get to know Elhokar’s wife a little better before you get an answer for that. But understand that Jasnah is very deliberate in her choices, and protecting her family is one of her most important personal mandates.
