Nazh --Did I find a new Worldhopper?

Recommended Posts

So today I happened to stumble upon a map of Elendel while reading, and I noticed the annotations written on it. They were signed by the name of Nazh. The name was familiar, but I couldn't remember where he/she was from, so I searched it up on the Coppermind. There isn't a page for him or her. 

 

It bothered me, becuase I knew I had seen the name somewhere. So I rifled through a few books illustrations to see if there were any more pictures/maps with his/her writing on them. What I found was in WoR, there are a few maps and drawings with his/her writing and signatures on them. (Pages 83, 138, 218, 732, 958, 1081). 

 

This person seems to have been taken an interest in Kaladin, Shallan, The Shattered Plains, and Stormseat. He/she also somehow got a hold of Navani's journal. 

 

However, considering that this person's handwriting was not only on a map of Elendel but also of things of Roshar, did I find a Worldhopper?

Well you did find one, but I'm afraid to say that he's not new. We've known about his existence for a while, although there's not a ton that we know about him. He's related to Khriss in some way I know that.

Spoilers for Khriss and Iyatil below

I feel like we've got WoB from the Firefight signing tour that Khriss is for sure the AA author (we previously knew it was definitely a Seventeenth Shard member), as well as Iyatil not being from Roshar. I could be mis-remembering both, though.

Do all 17th Sharders have the ability to worldhop? If so, then... 

 

Aslydin would be a worldhopper as well (if she isn't the unknown Terriswoman worldhopper in Warbreaker), even if we haven't seen her explicitly in any book except HoA, because of this WOB:

  INTERVIEW: Mar 12th, 2015 LIGHTYLANTERN (REDDIT)

Thanks a lot for doing this, Brandon. You're my favourite author, and I have a million things I want to ask you, but since I'm not the only one asking questions, I'll ask the ones most important to me.

2. In The Hero of Ages, Demoux gets together with a woman named Aslydin. He's then seen on Roshar in The Way of Kings. Knowing how loyal Demoux is, he wouldn't just leave Aslydin behind like that. Is she connected to his reasons for becoming a member of the Seventeenth Shard?
 

Again, thanks a ton for doing this.

BRANDON SANDERSON (REDDIT)

2) Aslydin is in the Seventeeth Shard, and had her own work to be about. I've given subtle clues about her before, but the ethnicity of the name should strike you.
