The author of the First Letter is likely [[Hoid]]; an excellent argument in favor of this point has been posted [[17s-topic:76|on the forums]]. Sanderson did confirm that we "may have read that Hoid has specific beef with Rayse," and the Letter is the only mention of anyone holding a grudge against Rayse.{{17s ref|post|50695|text=Hoid has a specific beef against Rayse.|date=2013-03-15}} The Second Letter, from the epigraphs of Words of Radiance, indicates that the original writer had taken on a name describing one of his "presumed virtues." This could be in reference to Hoid taking on the title of "Wit" while in Alethkar.{{epigraph ref|wor|60}} Sanderson also made no correction when asked a question about "Hoid's letter," in a Q&A session.{{qa ref|1067|2|Is the "old reptile" a dragon?|date=2013-09-24}}
[[The Recipient]]'s identity is less clear, but their non-intervention policy and some other details may suggest that it is [[Frost]] from [[Dragonsteel Prime|Dragonsteel]].{{tweet ref|22409474870349824|Frost's appearance in other books|date=2011-01-04}}. It has been confirmed that the recipient is a dragon{{qa ref|1067|2|Is the "old reptile" a dragon?|date=2013-09-24}}.
