Shardbearer he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I recently read a WOB that says we've met several worldhoppers FROM Roshar already. I've never seen any speculation on who these might be. So what do you think? Where else have we seen Rosharians? Who were they? Speculate away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 That's interesting, because if I recall correctly (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), the SA is the furthest along in the timeline of Cosmere novels(as well as Alloy). So any times we see Rosharan Worldhoppers in other novels, they'll be from before the events of SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardbearer he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yeah, so I'm guessing they wouldn't be characters we'd recognize, except maybe by reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well there is Mraize, he has technically worldhopped and is from Roshar. I can't remember if the question stipulates anything about seeing these worldhoppers in other books though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Wicked he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Well, we know Hoid is also known as Slowswift in the Mistborn trilogy, and we know that Zahel is Vasher/Warbreaker, and I read somewhere that Galladon from Sel is also a world hopper, but I'm not positive on that one. Sorry I didn't notice the FROM Roshar part. Edited August 6, 2015 by Something Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardbearer he/him Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yes, the cartographer. And he also drew maps in Scadrial. So whoever he's based on, he's a worldhopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sovereign Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Nazh is from Threnody, not Roshar. I think Shardbearer is thinking that Isasik Shulin and Nazh are the same person. As far as I know, in the Cosmere Isasik is just an Alethi Cartographer. I think the confusion is coming because Isaac Stewart, Brandon's artist who Isasik is based off of drew both Scadrial's and Roshar's maps.The character in Cosmere however only drew Roshar's map.

Shardbearer he/him Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Oh, for some reason I thought the map of Elendel had Isasik's name on it, not Nazh's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Honor Spren she/her Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I could see Jasnah worldhopping. She has the surge if transportation. Not exactly o topic but. . . I have a favorite headcannon, in which Kaladin somehow gets to Sel. He's looking around, noticing how strange it is here, when he hears a shriek from Syl. He turns sharply towards her, only to see that she has become a seon. Aon Mai, symbol for honor. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would she be a Terriswoman?) I believe Terrismen, is gender neutral, Terrisman would be gender specific. I could be wrong with that though. Also, who is to say that one of the races of Roshar can't look like the Terris do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch. I was thinking the only way we might be able to spot them is by their names. Do we have any other Rosharian sounding names in the other books? Symmetrical or near symmetrical. Suffixes. Consonants mashed together...(although I think the eyebrows would be a dead giveaway with those. Unless they keep them trimmed....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstSelector Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I like the idea that her name is Thaylen. It's not airtight, but it might be a good place to start. The biggest issue, in my mind, of the Rosharan worldhoppers is how they get off the planet. Granted, the ardentia seems to have some fairly good grasp on Shadesmar, but without some sort of transportation surge any potential worldhoppers would have to find an alternate way across the boundary. Assuming that the ardentia's records are not from pre-Recreance Elsecallers, there must be some other way. Using a Shardpool would risk Horneater wrath, and the timeline lining up appears to rule out pre-Recreance Knights. I suppose one could ask a boon from the Nightwatcher. Perhaps there were other "new" Knights before the current time? Another question, related, is if any of the Heralds engaged in worldhopping. They aren't may not be technically Rosharan, so I suppose they are may be ruled out. Edited August 11, 2015 by FirstSelector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't technically Rosharan, so I suppose they are ruled out. It is a tricky one, as we don't know what the other 9 got up to post-aharietiam but it can be assumed they might of and any WoB regarding Herald ?nationality/ethnicity? has always been RAFO'd (at least the ones i've seen anyway) or Brandon always gives an Aes Sedai answer. My idea is the Heralds have done so but their involvement isn't obvious Edited August 9, 2015 by ParadoxSpren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
