[[File:Drifter.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Kelsier]] and Hoid's meeting at the [[Well of Ascension]] by [[Coppermind:Artists/LittleGreyDragon|LittleGreyDragon]]]]
Around a year later, Hoid returned to Scadrial, traveling through Scadrial's subastral, riding on the back of a [[Cognitive Shadow]] to the Well of Ascension, Preservation's Perpendicularity.{{msh ref|2|1}} He encountered the Shadow of Kelsier, who asked for help returning to the Physical Realm. Hoid told him that there was nothing to be done, but he challenged Kelsier to an insult battle, with the prize being the answer to one true question. Kelsier instead threatened Hoid. Hoid attempted to enter the pool, but Kelsier attacked him. Hoid easily overpowered Kelsier and caused him serious pain, if not permanent injury. Hoid then transitioned through the Well and stole the bead of [[lerasium]] from the adjacent room. He later ate the lerasium and became a [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]].{{wob ref|12210}}
Hoid then traveled to the [[Terris Dominance]] for reasons unknown,{{msh ref|2|2}}{{wob ref|1552}} and then became wrapped up in matters he did not anticipate. This may refer to him becoming involved after the [[Inquisitor]] attack on [[Tathingdwen]] and the slaughter of the [[Synod]]. Hoid took up the guise of a Terris leader{{wob ref|5942}} and led the Terris refugees to the Central Dominance.{{book ref|mb2|56}}
=== Metallic Arts ===
Hoid has also gained access to Allomancy,{{wob ref|4877}}

=== Worldsingers & Worldbringers ===
The names of the [[Worldsingers]], a group of storytellers on Roshar, and the Conclave of [[Worldbringers]], the leading body of the original [[Terris]] religion, are strikingly similar. Brandon has stated that this is not a coincidence.{{17s ref|post|22043}} Some believe that Hoid is a common root to both of these organizations, one of which, the Worldbringers, was very [[Realmatic Theory|Realmatically]] aware.{{17s ref|post|42471}} There may be also a connection between the Worldsingers and the Dawnsingers, due to similarity of names.
