While rescuing [[Design]] before leaving [[Kholinar]], he recognizes one of the [[Fused]] as [[Vatwha]], an old acquaintance. At some point, "thousands of years ago," Hoid visited Roshar and mingled with the original inhabitants of the world, even dancing with the ancient [[singer]]s. The Fused, however, are now trained to watch for him - most likely to capture him and deliver him to [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}

==== The Way of Kings ====
[[Shalash]], upon seeing sketches of [[Talenel]] and herself, wonders aloud why Midius (a name taken by Hoid in an as-yet-unpublished text) is giving away drawings of them.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
 
In the epilogue, Hoid is shown in [[Kholinar]] insulting a [[Thaylen]] man in an attempt to elicit a reaction. Upon realizing that the man can't understand Alethi, Hoid decides repeating it all in Thaylen would be boring, so he cuts in front of the man. The man hits Hoid, knocking loose a tooth which Hoid discards upon leaving the area.
