NamesTaken

Okay. Yeah I came to the same conclusion earlier today. Thank you everyone for helping me clarify that in my mind.

Because Harmony only existed after era 1 of mistborn(during era 2 of mistborn or in the time skip between.) Which we have confirmation that era 2 mistborn happens AFTER era 1 SA. So how can Harmony be sending letters to Hoid during OB if he isn't created until after Stormlight Archive era 1(after Oathbringer)?? Unless all the letters are happening during the 300 year gap between Era 1 and 2 of Mistborn. That's the only answer that makes sense to me.

Okay yeah I've heard that too. So then I guess these "letters" between Hoid and Harmony aren't being sent or received during the events of OB? Just a little confusing to me that those would be in there if it's happening way later in the series like era 2. But I guess a lot of the beginnings of these chapters are foreshadowing things later to come. Maybe we will get the explanation in Era 2 of Stormlight or era 3 of mistborn.

So in Chapters 53,54 and 55 of Oathbringer it seems like it's Harmony is sending a message back to Hoid. He says "Friend, Your letter is most intriguing, even revelatory. I would have thought, before attaining my current station, that a deity could not be surprised. Obviously this is not true. I can be surprised. I can perhaps even be naive, I think. I am the least equipped, of all, to aid you in this endeavor. I am finding that the powers I hold are in such conflict that the simplest of actions can be difficult. I am also uncertain by your subterfuge. Why have you not made yourself known to me before this? How is it you can hide? Who are you truly, and how do you know so much about Adonalsium? If you would speak to me further, I request open honesty. Return to my lands, approach my servants, and I will see what I can do for your request." This seems like Harmony speaking to me.. which would indicate that era 2 is actually happening at the same time as Oathbringer...? Or at the very minimum that Era 1 is definitely over and Sazed has become Harmony already by this point. Maybe it's the time period between Era 1 and 2 of Mistborn? Has anybody else noticed this? I was under the impression that Era 1 SA happened before Era 2 Mistborn.
