Crash he/him Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I've seen this brought up briefly in passing, but I think it deserves more of a look. To my understanding it is pretty much accepted that the masked man face at the beginning of any chapter in the books indicates that Hoid will be in the chapter. I believe there is one chapter where he isn't explicitly there, but is mentioned by Shallan. The faces also seem to appear for specific characters as well. Certain characters seem to always start with at least a same, recurring face (if I remember correctly). The faces could also, however, be representative of heralds. So what does this all mean. Are the faces indicative of characters? Are they indicative of heralds? Or is it both? Could the characters somehow be connected to a certain herald, and what does that mean in the long run? If this has been answered or discussed elsewhere, sorry. I couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash he/him Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The faces belong to Heralds:http://coppermind.net/wiki/Ten_Essences Ok, so Hoid's symbol sits outside of their's, interesting. The Tor WoR reread for each chapter includes a discussion of theories why each of the heralds is included in the chapter symbology. I didn't, realize that. Will definitely check that out, thanks.
