LegendMKII Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 This is probably going to go nowhere, but Wayne seems to know a lot about some aspects of the Cosmere. Both in AOL and SOS he mentions the God Beyond, which seems to be his religion of choice, and has been theorised to be related towards Adolnasium. He also wanted to speak to Hoid while Wax was talking to Harmony, could it be Wayne has contacts who are world-hoppers? I think this is unlikely since he probably would have called on them during the crisis in SOS, however, there must be somewhere he has gotten this information. Thanks for hearing my musings. 1
I Am Stick Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm not sure if Wayne is Cosmere-savy but I think it does pose a question, given that we see the God beyond mentioned on multiple worlds: The God Beyond or the Unknown God was a god that was worshipped on multiple Shardworlds.[1][2][3] On Scadrial, Wayne mentions the God Beyond in passing.[1] On Sel, it was referred to as the Unknown God by the MaiPon, although this is indeed the same as the God Beyond.[2] Wan ShaiLu prays to the unknown god[4], and her people related it to the rocks that fell from the sky.[5] On Threnody, Silence Montane and her daughter William Ann, swore to the God Beyond.[3] I wonder if it could means some of the Yoelen race, who would have been more Cosmere aware, have integrated themselves into multiple societies or that Hoid has set up groups of 'Wordsingers' on various world passing knowledge of Religions and beliefs. 1

Brandon Sanderson told me at the Portland signing that Wayne likes Hoid but doesn't know who he is. So he probably doesn't know about worldhoppers. 1
Khyrindor he/him Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Also, in one of Dalinar's flashbacks (the one where he was Heb and fought those things) the woman mentions the God Beyond as well.
Kelek's Breath he/him Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Also, in one of Dalinar's flashbacks (the one where he was Heb and fought those things) the woman mentions the God Beyond as well. I recall Heb's wife saying "Three Gods Heb", but not mentioning God beyond. In which sequence did she mention that?
Ari he/him Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Wayne is either not Cosmere-aware or is doing a very good job of playing dumb.
DreamEternal Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Brandon Sanderson told me at the Portland signing that Wayne likes Hoid but doesn't know who he is. So he probably doesn't know about worldhoppers. Maybe Hoid wants to take him as an apprentice? Like what may happen with Shallan, judging by her flashback?
Kaymyth she/her Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Maybe Hoid wants to take him as an apprentice? Like what may happen with Shallan, judging by her flashback? Heh. Is Hoid really that crazy? Wayne is 100% pure chaos. 1
DreamEternal Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Heh. Is Hoid really that crazy? Wayne is 100% pure chaos. Are you saying Hoid isn't like that? Edited October 27, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Are you saying Hoid isn't like that? I'm saying that Hoid has a goal in mind and is up to something. I ascribe no such ambitions to Wayne.
DreamEternal Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I'm saying that Hoid has a goal in mind and is up to something. I ascribe no such ambitions to Wayne. Bah, if Wax can point him towards a goal I am sure Hoid can do it too.
Charononus Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I'm saying that Hoid has a goal in mind and is up to something. I ascribe no such ambitions to Wayne. Wayne has some ambitions. Yes he's very happy drinking and lying about during his down time, however if you look at his actions since he killed a man, his actions have all said he's living his life for atonement, that he doesn't think he can ever earn.

This is true. That's about the one and only thing he actually takes seriously. Of course, part of his atonement is providing for the family he broke, so I don't actually see him jumping into Worldhopping anytime soon. I can't imagine that it's very easy to send half of one's pay back through Shadesmar.

Stormgate he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Perhaps Wayne wanted to talk with Hoid because Wayne would make a good Wit, and Witty people like to talk to each other.
Ari he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Well Hoid manages to send letters somehow. lol maybe there are mailspren. I nominate TwelfthOfSnackTime as Postspren General. 1
Cadmium he/him Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Perhaps it's because Wayne enjoys learning unique people and accents. Hoid likely has put on a unique persona in this world so Wayne is going to try to figure out how to wear him like a costume. Add him to his repertoire, so to speak. ayne just has no idea that the coachman he's trying to imitate has an ENORMOUS backstory. 2
