→‎Early Visits
Hoid has made a number of historical visits to Roshar well before the events of the True Desolation. At some point persumably prior to the Recreance, Hoid came to Roshar hoping to to bond a spren and become a Surgebinder, but did not accomplish this goal.{{wob ref|15694}} He was familiar enough visitor at [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] in the Horneater peaks that the Unkalaki began describing him as a god, Lunu’anaki, who they worshipped as the god of travel and mischief.{{book ref|sa2|46}} Several generations before the coming of the Everstorm, when [[Cord]]'s grandmother was watcher of the pool, Hoid visited the Peaks and warned the Unkalaki of the [[Sleepless]].{{book ref|dawnshard|15}} Hoid also founded the organization of [[Worldsingers]] at some point, a Rosharan storyteller specializing in sharing knowledge about the world.{{wob ref|15843}}
 
At some point likely prior to or during the year 1170 Hoid returned to Roshar through [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] in the Horneater Peaks, encounting [[Lunamor]] as he exited the Perpendicularity. His specific goals at this time are not completely known, but he was hoping to gain full access to Lightweaving again by bonding a spren,{{cite}} as well as check in on Odium and perhaps rally others to work towards Rasyse's defeat.{{cite}} Hoid at some point met [[HallaranHelaran Davar]] in Alethkar, taking note of his determination. Around mid-1170 when Hoid mentioned to Helaran that he was traveling westward, Helaran asked him to deliver a message to Lin Davar, that Helaran had eyes near to Lin that were watching him.{{book ref|sa2|45}}

Likely at some point following this, Hoid took an apprentice by the name of [[Sigzil]], trying to teach him the ways of the Worldsingers as well as some common sense.{{book ref|sa1|57}} The two men spent some time in [[Babatharnam]] and Hoid was forced to bail Sigzil out of jail three times, as the locals had taken Hoid to be a wealthy foreigner, and knew he would pay to free Sigzil.{{book ref|sa1|45}} They traveled together for a long time, but somehow Hoid and Sigzil became separated in such a way that Hoid believed Sigzil had died.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
 
Sometime between 1170{{wob ref|5016}} and late 1173,{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Hoid encountered Lift in Marabethia, talking with her about how it was permissible for art to be crass before jumping into the mouth of a greatshell.{{book ref|edgedancer|12}} Hoid also became aware that members of the [[Seventeenth Shard]] had come to Roshar hunting him{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} and laid a false trail through the [[Purelake]] for them to chase.{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}} Around this time, Hoid alsowas beganalso writing letters to potential allies, such as [[Frost]],{{wob as well asref|2682}} [[Autonomy]],{{wob ref|9081}} [[Endowment]],{{wob ref|8041}} and [[Harmony]]{{wob ref|9012}} asking for help dealing with Odium. Most refused Hoid, Frost refused citing his policy of non-intervention and his concern that their meddling could only make matters worse, Autonomy hertheir belief that Odium was contained,{{epigraph ref|sa3|46}} and Endowment whoher feltconfidence that Odium would be handled if he caused any more trouble.{{epigraph ref|sa3|41}} Harmony responded with an offer of help,{{epigraph ref|sa3|57}} but also a warning that his ability to influence events was limited by the opposing powers of his Shards.{{epigraph ref|sa3|55}} Hoid and Harmony remained in correspondence, planning to extend Odium's imprisonment so that more forces could be marshalled. Hoid also recommended that Harmony reach out to the other Shards to learn more of them,{{epigraph ref|Sa5|22}} while Harmony warned Hoid that he had become too focused on Rayse as the Vessel and that Odium was the true threat,{{epigraph ref|Sa5|39}} especially in the hands of a crafty Vessel.{{epigraph ref|Sa5|42}}
