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

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
