Nathrangking he/him Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Raysium. Odiumium sounds too much like condominium to me. Thankfully Hoid did not accept a shard and create a god metal cephandriusium no thank you! Edited November 27, 2017 by Nathrangking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyWordsmith Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Raysium follows Atium and Lerasium. We know Harmonium would have actually been called Sazedium if Sazed hadn't objected. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "-ius" becomes "-ium" not "-iusium". And yea, it's based on the name of the Vessel, not the name of the Shard. The exception being Harmonium, and just because no one wants to argue with the guy who is literally the most powerful being (raw power wise) in the Cosmere (to our knowledge.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Wouldn’t it actually be Midium for Hoid? (And HOW did Shallash know that name?!?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I now have a strong worry that Liar is completely non-canon now and that Midius is just another alias of Hoid, as opposed to his real name. If it isn't an alias, then that has to mean he used his real name with the heralds. Whatever it is, it proves that Hoid was on speaking terms with the Heralds, enough to call each other by name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I actually would not be surprised if it was both. Spoiler Based on ‘Liar’ Midius takes up the name Hoid and continues using it thereafter. This is likely still cannon, as Hoid has implied these events occurred. But time passes. No one knows ‘Hoid’ was ever known as Midius, or even that there ever was a person by that name. So eventually he uses his own name as an alias. It’s gone from being his real name to being as much a lie as the others. Alternatively, Tanavast -or Rayse or both - could have known his name was Midius, and told the heralds. I like my first reason better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Another alias. I actually checked, and WoB is Cephandrius is closer to his original name than Hoid; is less alias than long term identity; he was also known as Topaz at the same time; it was one of his first aliases. So Cephandrius is not his real name. However we don’t know the status of Midius yet. Edited November 27, 2017 by Kingsdaughter613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistbornAlpaca he/him Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Are we going for an actual realistic name? If so, probably Raysium, but Odiumium is way more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightlord M. Alhstrom he/him Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure we will ever know Hoid true name until and unless we see a scene with him in his childhood at a time when he is either too young to be using an alias, or someone trustworthy who would have known him since birth is using it has his name. Like his mother for example. Personally, I wouldn't mind if it stayed one of the mysteries of the Cosmere, doomed to never be revealed.
