|I am being chased. Your friends of the Seventeenth Shard, I suspect. I believe they're still lost, following a false trail I left for them. They'll be happier that way. I doubt they have any inkling what to do with me should they actually catch me.

[[Ishikk]] the [[Purelake]]r was acting as a guide and informant to three foreigners who are looking for [[Hoid]].<ref>{{bref|TWoK|i|1}}</ref>
 
They have been confirmed to be from the Seventeenth Shard.
Members of the Seventeenth Shard appear in [[The Way of Kings]], Interlude I-1: Ishikk as the foreign visitors to [[Purelake]] presumably chasing Hoid<ref>{{bref|WoK|i|1}}</ref>. Their real names are unknown to Ishikk, the viewpoint character; however, fans have guessed the identities of two of the three visitors. Posited early on in old Timewaster's Guide forums based on the distinct linguistic pattern of [[Dula]]s, it has been confirmed by Brandon that the one Ishikk calls ''Grump'' is [[Galladon]] from [[Sel]] <ref>{{17s|712|Signing with Brandon and Peter Orullian}}</ref>. Brandon also recently confirmed at a signing that ''Thinker'' is [[Demoux]] from [[Scadrial]] <ref>https://twitter.com/#!/17thshard/status/147532014290092032</ref>; this was first conjectured in the 17th Shard forums based on the scar on Demoux's scalp <ref>{{17s|75-theory-galladon-in-wok/page__view__findpost__p__22983|theory: Galladon in WoK}}</ref>. The third member called ''Blunt'' is still unknown and is likely to remain so for a while as he is from a written but unpublished book.
