Assassin in Burgundy he/him Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 So I was thinking about the Horneater pools and "Luna'aiki," or Hoid. And then I read the ending of the tenth anniversary of Elantris, which has a bonus ending of Hoid talking to a dark Aon and at the end, he jumped into the pool that dissolves Elantrians and disappeared. So, I thought that Worldhoppers may use "pools" to travel worlds. The pool for Roshar is the Horneater pools, the pool for Sel is the human-dissolving pool, the pool for Luthadel is an obscure reference in Shadows of Self. During one of the newspaper clippings, there was a story about a man who got lost and found a pool in a forest. By the side of it was a twisted creature with a big, ornate mask. I believe this was either a Worldhopper or one of the people form the South from Bands of Mourning. So, am I being stupid? Or could this possibly be correct? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiant Returned he/him Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Yeah they're called Perpendicularities, ways that Worldhoppers cross between realms and worlds. In Scadrial you have the Well of Ascension, which is really Preservation's Shardpool, on Sel that pool is the Shardpool of either Devotion or Dominion, and on Roshar it's not confirmed whether the Horneater pool is a shard pool, but I definitely think it is since Rock says Hoid came out of there. Which means it's probably the Shardpool of either Cultivation or Honor. I actually didn't catch the SoS pool mention, that's awesome, I'll have to go re-read that now lol.

I couldn't make an account for a while, so I've had a lot of time to think about these theories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
