Ardjet Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just a thought I had reading about Sigzil. What if Hoid was/is grooming him to be a Worldhopper? Maybe as a start to his own counter-17th Shard? He's built up his knowledge of Roshar and who knows what/where else. There's similarity between the titles of Worldsinger and Worldhopper. Though, is Worldhopper a canon term, or a Sharder term? And Sigzil has been documenting and testing Kaladins abilities. He also seemed very persistent that Kaladin make time for said tests. Anyway, no real quotation or WoB evidence I know if. Just a few connections my head made. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadrok she/her Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Brandon has noted a connection between Worldsinger and the Scadrian Worldbringers before. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/1308-hoid-founded-the-worldsingers-and-worldbringers/#entry22043(This is the source the Coppermind uses for this information. I'm sure there was a better source for this... can anyone find it?) Also, this (old) discussion might be of interest to you: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/2504-sigzil/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardjet Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Awesome. Thanks. I'm really interested to see what Sigzil does now that Bridge Four is essentially free. Or if he'll show up with Hoid. Aand what Hoid is up to with his World_inger groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadrok she/her Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) No problem. If you haven't seen it already, this might also interest you: HerowannabeIs Sigzil, as Hoid's apprentice, Rosharan? Brandon Sanderson He is from Roshar. HerowannabeHas Hoid taken him to other worlds? Brandon SandersonNo, Sig hasn't visited any other worlds. Source: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=979#53 The Coppermind Wiki is a goldmine of WoBs about specific characters. I knew this one existed, but it's nice to be able to just look up Sigzil and find the source of it Edited March 5, 2016 by Kadrok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nervousnerd he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I think Hoid works alone. If he wanted recruits, he has had plenty of time to gather them but it seems he is always more in the direction of giving information or minor help to push others toward his goals.

Stormgate he/him Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Perhaps Hoid is trying to get people who remember what the world is like, so that they can pick up the pieces and rebuild when/if Shards wreak havoc. Also, he may be trying to form groups over the Cosmere like that as part of his Master Plan that involves traveling to worlds around the Cosmere and gaining their powers through legitimate means, as well as "moving the plot along" as he does in... every book. The Heritage Clan on Sel, trying to preserve the past. Hoid helped them survive by giving them the most skilled Forger in the world, who can put together a soul from interviews and a journal. Hoid may have been trying to keep the Worldbringers of Scadrial around when he went to Terris. The storytelling on Nalthis is another example of this. Hoid collects three things: objects (The flute, the bead of Lerasium, and the Dark Sphere--not sure about the third for sure--) information and Investment from different Shardworlds. I wonder: which is more dangerous and important? Edited March 7, 2016 by Stormgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
