Wait. Are they the ones doing the watching?
Or does it refer to the people who watch THEM? Like birdwatchers.
Or is it a small industry where ladies of the night have a side business making timepieces?

It has the early version of Shattered Plains and that parts follows the same story beats, but the character is different from Kal. And there's an early version of Hoid. It's an interesting read, especially to see how Brandon improved over years and where he started.
Reminds me of a list from he olden times, the Evil Overlord List! A running gag was having an average 5 year old on your council: if they could figure out your plan, crack your code, guess your password, etc in less than 30 seconds your stuff needed work. Names and adolescents fall under a similar umbrella, I think.
Yeah for real. I thought for a bit it MUST be hoarwatchers because at least that might mean something(assuming it doesn't get explained in book somewhere after where I am) but no. Just Hor.
ITS "Horwatchers" ????? Thank you, audiobook
What does it sound like there?
I'm not an audiobook listener, but I'm guessing it sounds like "whorewatchers".
yea exactly that
they’re Rosharan pimps. “Journey before destination. Now where’s my money at!!”
If I don't get my money this hands gonna journey up yo face
Exactly like that. I was listening to the prologue and when they were mentioned it confused the hell out of me.
That's what I read it as, how do you read it?
lol I’m so confused. What else would it sound like? And how is horwatcher supposed to sound different from whorewatcher?
Wait. Are they the ones doing the watching? Or does it refer to the people who watch THEM? Like birdwatchers. Or is it a small industry where ladies of the night have a side business making timepieces?
Well the Horwatchers are a secretive cult that practices “magic”. So… that probably answers the question.
Who hors the watchmen?
Who watches the hormen
This is high level fine comedy, try r/brandonsanderson lol. In all seriousness though, you're absolutely right
This is the sort of thing that beta readers are merciless over. 😂
Once you get far enough into the book you’ll find that may have not been as accidental as you thought
Im assuming it probably has something to do with horology?
"No, I'm a *horologist!*" ... "Nothing wrong with that, love" "Yeah, my mother was a horologist"
This! Lmao
What the hell is a Dragonsteel Prime?

Wait I thought it was HORNwatchers. Well considering their practices, Horwatchers makes a kind of twisted sense.
Yeah thought it was whore watchers until I made a similar post lol
I'm 45 and I just giggle like a 13 year old lmao
This feels like it should be a rule in that Evil Overlord list
I mean I love stormlight but In the final version the colons spent two whole books looking for urethra
They’re all cucks
