== Letters ==
In Part Two of ''Oathbringer'' the epigraphs are three letters. The [[Letters#First_Oathbringer_Letter|first]] and [[Letters#Second_Oathbringer_Letter|second]] are directed to "[[Hoid|Cephandrius]]", and the [[Letters#Third_Oathbringer_Letter|third]] is addressed to "Friend"--also likely referring to Hoid. The secondfirst letter is theorized to have been written by [[BavadinEndowment]],{{wob andref|8401}}{{ref|text=By process of elimination, Endowment is the only known, living Shard who fits with the thirdcontext of the letter.}} isthe mostsecond likelyby writtenan avatar of [[Autonomy]],{{wob ref|9081}} and the third by [[Harmony]] based on speech patterns and reference to holding two conflicted powers.

== Urithiru Gem Archive ==
 
In Part Three of ''Oathbringer'', the epigraphs are records retrieved from the gem archive in [[Urithiru]]. The drawer number and [[Polestone|gemstone]] designations are included with the record. The gemstone used to make the record likely corresponds to the Order of the [[Knights Radiant|Knight]] who made it. (e.g., sapphires for [[Windrunners]])
 
Notably, if the gemstones correspond to order, there are no records made by [[Edgedancers]] or the one [[Bondsmith]] spoken of in Chapter 67's epigraph, [[Melishi]].
