Grimn Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi Guys!I'm a long time reader and first time poster to this forum and I was wondering what your opinions on a idea I had.I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, but in the WoB Q: Will we learn more about the character currently known as Hoid in Words of Radiance?A: Yes, you will. Watch for a story told at a bar. *I dont know how to quote sorry* I've seen a lot of people agree that this scene is when they are discussing Rock's meeting with his god at the tavern, but I have noticed a possible but probably unlikely option that Brandon was being tricky with his wording. I was thinking that maybe the story told at the bar was actually Wit/Hoids story that he told to Kaladin through the bars of his cell in WoR.A wild theory but I wanted to know what you think 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tavash Shar Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Either of these would be a very Hoid thing to do/say/think ect. Rocks Meeting with his god in a tavern was not somthing I even remember but that story Hoid told has stuck with me sense the very first read through.

Westwood Swangin Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I thought it was pretty well known that the white haired God that Rock saw was Hoid. Especially given Sigzil's reaction to the description. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 As well as what he did, poke fun at Rocks name and hair, is a very Hoid thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBFII Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I thought it was Hoid... and The water was a Shardpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniacmggee Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Found this forum searching the forums. Do you guys have locations in the book for these two conversations? I'd like to go back and review them but its difficult to remember where they were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Found this forum searching the forums. Do you guys have locations in the book for these two conversations? I'd like to go back and review them but its difficult to remember where they were. The one scene is in Words of Radiance, Chapter 59 "Fleet" and the other is in Words of Radiance, Chapter 46 "Patriots".

BreathTaker Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I had a strong feeling that was Hoid as soon as I read it. In that conversation isn't mentioned that the "top layer" of the water is regular water but if you go deeper its not? Something like that? I mean I know that we know it's a Shardpool but I was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiosity Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wait... no one thought that this was referring to the story told about Shallan noticing the weird dude putting powder in his own drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wait... no one thought that this was referring to the story told about Shallan noticing the weird dude putting powder in his own drink? You mean that other Hoid scene? Not really I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyman Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Curiosity, since that was a POV deecription rather than an in-world story, I don't think it really counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eilemelie Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wait... no one thought that this was referring to the story told about Shallan noticing the weird dude putting powder in his own drink? Correct me if I'm wrong, as I only have my memory to serve me at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the scene doesn't fit the description of being told at a bar in any way.
