Talk:Shayol Ghul

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

[edit] Origin

Does anyone think the term "shayol" might come from Cordwainer Smith? I haven't seen the term anywhere else, and the timeframe is right- Jordan was fairly young at the time Smith was publishing. --Maru (talk) Contribs 19:39, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

I always figured it was a play on the biblical Sheol, or Hell... never read CS though, and no real clue about the "Ghul" part (which I can never spell reliably). nae'blis _(talk) 20:59, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
