Difference between revisions of "Hoid"

In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid played a relatively major role on [[Roshar]]. Most often seen under the guise of ''Wit'', [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s court jester, he influenced [[Dalinar]]. He also met [[Kaladin]] and told him a story about [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''. During the course of the story, Hoid used a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. It is also likely that he used Lightweaving to cause the smoke from the fire to take the form of various elements from his story.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}} Hoid appeared again later on in the book, at the end, at the very same time as [[Taln]], a [[Herald]], who breaks through the gates of [[Kholinar]] and falls unconscious after declaring that the [[Final Desolation]] is upon them.{{ref|b|twok|epilogue}}
