===Roshar (The Stormlight Archive)===

 

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]], going so far as to ask Dalinar if he had ever heard the term "Adonalsium".{{ref|b|twok|c|54}} He also met [[Kaladin]] and told him a story about [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}} 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. 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 [[True Desolation]] is imminent.{{ref|b|twok|epilogue}}
