(Earth is absolutely mentioned in Elantris) |
|||
|
Would you go to Roshar or Sel or whatever and say? - "It had come with a tempest—that much even Raoden remembered. The earth itself had shattered" Heck no. You would say Roshar or the ground of Sel, or whatever had shattered. The fact is Earth is a very specific name of a planet. Whithout it's existence in the Cosmere it just doesn't exist in any form, but it does.
:Unfortunately for you, the word "earth" and "earthquake" are mentioned in various books in this way (used in this way in nearly every Brandon book, in fact). Have you not read books, watched movies, or played video games that are not at all set on Earth where they use it in this context? I'm sorry, but this is just very common in the genre and you don't seem familiar with this convention or definition of the word. I even looked at some dictionaries and "the ground" is always one such usage (for example, Meriam-Webster definition 3 [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/earth]), so even outside of fantasy, this is a completely acceptable context. Sorry this didn't work for you. But again, we're reading the books in translation.[https://wob.coppermind.net/events/118-rfantasy-ama-2017/#e3694] I think you must surely agree that an author writing fantasy shouldn't prevent themselves from using the word "earthquake" for example, right? That's just unnecessarily clunky if one couldn't use that word if you were a writer. Also please don't delete stuff on talk pages, you can use a <nowiki>:</nowiki> for an indent. We want to preserve the conversation for others to see. Thank you. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 19:41, 23 June 2018 (MST)
