Difference between revisions of "Hoid"

=====[[Way of Kings]]=====

In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid plays a relatively major role on [[Roshar]]. Most often seen under the guise of ''Wit'', [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s court jester, he influences [[Dalinar]], going so far as to ask Dalinar if he has ever heard the term "Adonalsium".{{ref|b|twok|c|54}} He also meets [[Kaladin]] and tells him a story about [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}} During the course of the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. It is also likely that he uses [[Lightweaving]] to cause the smoke from the fire to take the form of various elements from his story.

In the first Interlude, Ishikk, a man from the Purelake, spends six months being paid by three men to ask around the area after Hoid. These three men are [[Galladon]], [[Demoux]], and a third man from a book that has not been published, referred to as Vao or Blunt. These men are confirmed to be members of the Seventeenth Shard.
