When does Felt leave Scadrial for Roshar?


robardin

Question

So, the Felt who's a scout for Dalinar and already in his service when he visited the Nightwatcher, by then married with an Alethi (?) wife and in service long enough to be so close to him (unless he's got a way to secretly boost Connection?), is confirmed to be the same Felt who worked for House Venture in Mistborn.

We have various WoBs that he's kind of a lone wolf among worldhoppers, who has associated with a number of groups without staying on as a committed member; that even during the Final Empire he was somewhat cosmere aware; that he was born shortly before the events of MB1 (he's not a time-dilated worldhoppers who returned to Scadrial and got caught stranded when Kelsier shattered the Pits); and that he survived the Catacendre in the cavern under Kredik Shaw, in something of a leadership role.

Per the Coppermind's Cosmere timeline, the events of TWoK on Roshar are only a little earlier than the events on Scadrial during Alloy of Law, Mistborn Era 2, by about a dozen years. Which in Scadrial time, is about 330 years after the Catacendre.

So how long did Felt stay on Scadrial before hopping off? And doing what? He must have stayed long enough to be influential enough to get a town named for him in the Roughs: the opening scene of AoL, when Wax and Lessie have that crucial encounter with Bloody Tan, is in a "dead town" that had been prosperous until twenty years back when a clan of koloss moved nearby. A town called Feltrel!

Even more important, through which perpendicularity did he leave? When did Harmony's perpendiculatity form and how did he locate it?

Harmony probably told him at some point. Kandra would have difficulties leaving, so while he was trying to figure that whole thing out, he probably sent some exploration-minded humans off-world, with Felt likely among them.

Felt had a political role as the manager of two of Elend's storage cavern cities.  I imagine that he was a fairly well know figure post Catacendre.

Indeed, but that is the sort of person who would be tied down with responsibilities to people he presumably cared about. Not the kind who usually goes off worldhopping when such a possibility is not commonly known, unless recruited or sent as one...
