Was the guy Dalinar met in his flashback really Nohadon?

Brandon Sanderson

So far as he knows.

So what's your favorite thing from The Way of Kings? Quotes, coming from the actual book in The Way of Kings.

Brandon Sanderson

The book in-world? I would say it's the story that Nohadon shares about walking and passing the man with his burden.

Was Nohadon a bondsmith?

Brandon Sanderson

RAFO! Good question.

So Nohadon's still alive, right?

Brandon Sanderson

RAFO! Why would you say that Nohadon is still alive?

It's the perfect trick, that you're gonna bring back Nohadon. It's my feeling about things.

Is Nohadon a herald. There are tons and tons of little things that make me think this. Like the KR have the Way of Kings to base their views and policies on. Which, as was stated, was written by him. In Dalinar's vision of Nohadon, he says things about surgebindings and implies the man he's speaking to is a leader of an order, like he himself is. We know, from the WoR (In world) excerpts, that all the orders were lead by the heralds, after a time anyway. That's my reasoning, not that you need it, if it's true or not true. I just thought I might clarify why I came to that conclusion.

Brandon Sanderson

Nohadon is not a Herald, but I can see what lead you to think otherwise. Let's just say that even among kings and surgebinders, he was someone special.
