bmcclure7 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Is it just more are did you also get the impression that the first lodestar was hoid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriol Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 That was my impression, although the only evidence I have to go on personally is that idk who else could have introduced them to a Yolish name. I suppose it's possible it was a dragon but the connection between Sig and Hoid is impossible to ignore so I'm leaning towards the 1st lodestar indeed being Hoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trutharchivist he/him Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Oh, the spelling! I'm sorry, it's just... a bit much. I get where you're coming from, and I thought of it too, but I don't think so. His name is Zellion - but that doesn't tell us much, because Hoid has many names. But I think Brandon is trying to get Nomad out of Hoid's shadow, not keep him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be poetic since Nomad is the the second lobestar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trutharchivist he/him Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Just now, bmcclure7 said: But it would be poetic since Nomad is the the second lobestar. Well, yes and... no. The first lodestar led them to this planet and will forever be a pillar of their culture. Nomad - the second Zellion - saved them from a tyrant and showed them a new way of life, which is... still a tad less than showing them a new planet and teaching them their faith. The mere fact they named him after the first Zellion equates them - but at the same time, it puts Nomad partly in the first Zellion's shadow. If it's just a Yolish worldhopper - be it a dragon, a member of the 17th Shard or whoever - I think it's fine. But it being Hoid all over again would be so frustrating - like wherever he goes, Hoid has already been there and done that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
