TheCremling Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 wait. . . then why isn't his skin silvery? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modal Seoul Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 In the book Elantris, it describes his dark skin as taking on a gray sheen, but not totally silver like everyone else. If Ishiik noticed this, he probably didn't care. (P.S. The other two guys are Demoux from Mistborn and Baon from White Sand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCremling Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 How did you figure this stuff out? I'm assuming that the one Ishiik nicknamed Blunt is Demoux? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modal Seoul Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 To quote the Coppermind: " Demoux is searching for Hoid in the Purelake region on Roshar, in the company of Galladon and Blunt. Ishikk refers to him as Thinker for his contemplative and reserved manner, and notes that he speaks the Selay language more poorly than his associates. When his companions begin to argue, he notices Ishikk listening in and directs the others to move their discussion to another language." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Quote Q:Well we have an example of an Elantrian on Roshar, so. A:Yes we have an Elantrian on Roshar, but we don't see him use any powers, and his skin is dark on Roshar rather than glowing. That is something to be aware of.source @TheCremling we do read coppermind. But mostly we hunt for anything Brandon says anywhere. Theoryland is a good place to start, also following Brandon on reddit is a good idea, his Twitter is also useful sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotunn Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Having read the way of kings before Elantris and Mistborn i didn't notice this, i just went back to check it out, and Baaaaamm ! it hit me right in the face, the realization that things are getting bigger and bigger.

(Like how Radoen turned himself into 'Kaloo'. One point about this - that power requires accessing Aon Dor (unless it can be a lasting change, which I don't believe is possible but I'm happy to be corrected). The Dor however is heavily location dependent and cannot be accessed on Roshar without hacking the system. This may have been done by a worldhopper but it is an important distinction. @Lwarch we know Hoid has that many breaths not from Warbreaker, but because he refers in SA to having perfect pitch. And @TheCremling (SH spoiler) Spoiler we know Hoid has lerasium, and that he has allomancy, but there's some debate over whether he's Mistborn or simply use some lerasium to create alloys enabling single metal misting powers. Note that there should, I believe, be spoiler tags for some of these posts, I think this forum requires them. Someone more experienced than me will correct that if I'm wrong.

Well, its unclear whether or not he actually ate it, he may still have it. However, he does appear to to ingest some metal during one of Shallan's flashbacks in WoR. Also, according to the coppermind and some WoBs, Hoid has feruchemy (supposedly able to tap fortune), which is how he always knows where to be. But I feel like I remember reading somewhere that that was changed (maybe I'm just imagining things). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote QUESTION When Hoid took the bead of Lerasium, did he actually eat it or did he just hang on to it? BRANDON SANDERSON You have seen him use Allomancy in other books, so… that’s your answer There is debate about whether Hoid uses feruchemy to store fortune. We know he uses an analgous power to be in the right place at the right time but I believe there is no definitive WoB on whether it's feruchemy or another system. There is an old one that says it's feruchemy but it's paraphrased and still up for debate. We know he at least has access to unkeyed metalminds so his feruchemy may be limited to that. He may not actually be a feruchemist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
