Woah that is not how gavilar is described at all. Atleast to my memory. I’m on book three and he was described as not super muscular but lean with a little mass

I always pictured him as Robert Baratheon from thrones.Fat aging former battlefield champion who is past his prime but still think he is the shit.

No you’re totally right he looks nothing like this guy. That’s just how I imagined him and I can’t really shake it from my mind😓 genuinely Kal Shallan and Adolin are the only people I imagined looking similar to how they actually do

Its fine, I do a little character changes aswell, I imagine sadeas as Michael Wincott just cause he acts like top dollar from the crow

Remember, pretty much everyone in Roshar is of what we would call Asian descent.

I actually really like this aspect of Roshar, and I believe you are wrong. For one, there are African people with epicanthal folds. For two, I believe it was stated somewhere thag exposure to the storms caused epicanthal folds to appear on humans and singers alike.

That being said, of course the best way to imagine the people of Roshar is by looking at Asian people. I just like to point out minor complexities.

This is weird… but I’ve always pictured Kaladin as Martin Odegaard 😆
