Sand Master Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 So I've read in a few different places now that Sanderson has confirmed the existence of Hoid in WoA, mainly by saying that it's Hoid's footprints in the ash at the Well. However, despite searching through my copy (ebook, so I can look for keywords like "print", "foot", "feet", and "footprint") I can't find any mention of said prints. Can anyone give me an exact chapter or specific line that would make it easier to search? Would really appreciate it. 2
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 If I remember rightly, it is somewhere between chapter 57 to chapter 58 but the exact page number or line escapes me. It's either as Elend and Vin arrive at the well or just before. Hope this helps
Erai Sedai he/him Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 i just had a look and i could not find it at all..
Oudeis he/him Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 ...Well it couldn't be in ash, because it was indoors and underground, yes?
Esaias he/him Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) I believe this is it. "It leaned over. Vin knelt, feeling where it gestured. There, in the frost, she thought she made out the distinct impression of a footprint. But that was impossible. Did the Spirit make it? She wondered. But that was the print of a boot." http://brandonsanderson.com/mistborn-2-alternate-ending-part-two/ http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=428#58 http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=428#102 Edited June 27, 2015 by gwslow 3
natc Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Frost, huh. Well, it's not the geographic north pole anymore, so it must be from the well itself or the Ruin-Mist. Stormlight frosts things over too, so this is interesting . . .
Oudeis he/him Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Being the 'alternate ending' I suspect it is noncanon, or at least that some details have changed.
Young Bard he/him Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 As has been mentioned, the footprints are part of the alternate entry. In the actual book, Hoid is the leader of the Terris refugees that Elend meets on his way back to Luthadel. (I think. I don't have the book with me.)
Sand Master Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 After looking through the links that gwslow helpfully provided, I realize where I was wrong. The scene I was thinking of was in the alternate version, and Hoid was actually the Terris leader. Thanks for helping guys.
