'''''The Liar of Partinel''''' is an unpublished [[cosmere]] work
It is set on the world of [[Yolen]] and features a character called Midius who takes on the name of his master, [[Hoid]]. The original plan was for it to be part of [[Dragonsteel]], but published as if a standalone book to avoid confusion with the main Dragonsteel sequence
While Sanderson has stated multiple times that he will rewrite and publish Hoid's origin story at some point, his first attempt did not feel right, and "every chapter was a chore to write."{{qa ref|995|2|Liar may be rewritten as a first-person narrative|date=May 14th, 2013}} He does not distribute this book because the personality of the main character "never clicked," and he does not want it to color fans' predispositions towards that character.{{qa ref|675|17|Challenges writing characters|date=Dec 15th, 2011}} A draft of the first six chapters was posted on Brandon's website for public comment [http://brandonsanderson.com/drafts/warbreaker/LiarPt12.doc here]; however, he discourages fans from seeking it out.
The main character performs [[Lightweaving]], a common form of investiture in the Cosmere. The Ars Arcanum of [[Words of Radiance]] claims that Roshar's Lightweaving is the most similar to this "original Yolish variant."
