(→Nalthis: Added a vague sense of time between his hijinks on Scadrial and his appearance in Warbreaker. We know Alloy of Law is 341 years after Hero of Ages, and Way of Kings is less them 10 years before AoL (Given MB4-MB7 all take place within a 15 year jump). Then, Warbreaker is "a few generations" before WoK, thus, at least 200 years have passed between HoA and WB.) |

=== Nalthis ===
Several centuries later,{{wob ref|14099}} Hoid traveled to [[Nalthis]] and took the role of a master storyteller. [[Lightsong]] summoned him to the [[Court of the Gods]], where he recounted the story of [[Vo]], explained the origin of the [[Hallandren]] God Kings, and answered Lightsong and [[Siri]]'s questions.{{book ref|wb|32}} He likely achieved perfect pitch while on this world by obtaining additional Breaths.{{book ref|wb|52}}{{book ref|sa2|59}}{{book ref|sa4|epilogue}} At some later point, [[Vivenna]] also met Hoid; she later described him as one of the only people on Nalthis that is cosmere-aware.
Hoid spent a lot of time gambling on Nalthis, and was fairly renowned. He would arrange things so that he could never lose, and then bet everything on himself. However, someone else managed to arrange it so that he couldn't ''win'', either, resulting in a tie and the loss of his winnings.{{book ref|sa4|99}}
