Hoid again in this plays his minor role as Wit, though he is absent for most of the book. In Shallan's flashback to three and a half years ago, she meets Hoid disguised as a messenger, and he talks to her. [[Rock]] also describes an encounter with him in the Horneater Peaks and calls him ''Lunu'anaki'', the god of travel and mischief who cannot hurt man.{{book ref|sa2|46}}{{qa ref|1061|3|Hoid in Words of Radiance|date=Mar 17th, 2014}}
 
Hoid is also seen acting as the carriage driver for [[Adolin]] when he is visiting [[Shallan]] at [[Shattered Plains|Sebarial's warcamp]]. He speaks to [[Kaladin]] about his flute and mentions that he wants an interesting story from him. When [[Shallan]] recognises him she happily hugs him for his advice from three and a half years prior when he encouraged her at her worst and told her to keep seeking the light.{{book ref|sa2|55}}
 
Hoid, acting as Wit, visits [[Kaladin]] while he is in prison. He tells Kaladin the story of a man named Fleet who raced a highstorm across one end of [[Roshar]] to the other. Fleet wins, but dies of exhaustion at the end, and his spirit goes on to race the wind forever.
