TheOtherDave Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I choose to believe that Hoid’s telling this story to a teenager behind him in a particularly long line at the grocery store. (Mostly because I don’t think we have enough information to figure out the answer yet, short of a WoB just telling us.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Oltux72 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 On 4.3.2022 at 8:05 PM, king of nowhere said: Hoid describes Tess as going to the docks "like a soldier facing cannon fire"; this is a methapor to explain stuff to the listener, so the listener knows what cannons are. this suggests scadrial as the most likely location, as the only place in the cosmere with cannons so far. I don't know, maybe taldain darkside is also possible? but they have different plants This is centuries in the future going by the technology we see. I am afraid cannons tell us exactly nothing. If anything they point at a primitive and low magic world, as the more advanced worlds are unlikely to have human soldiers walking into battle against actual cannons. I mean we are seeing what for practical purposes are combat robots in the very book. But they of course may have historical novels and history, so they know about cannons even on the advanced worlds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
