ElectricscotishDolphin Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Probably should wait until after reading more books in the Cosmere but. . .how old is Wit/Hoid? Here I will be asking my questions that I have about the elusive Wit. Yes I am aware that there might be other topics like this already on here, but screw it I'm making my own. Also who is older Wit or Vasher?
The Forgetful Archivist he/him Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Hoid is OLD, like as old as all 16 shards if not older, Hoid is definitely much older than Vasher. Just for context, he was around when Adonalsium was shattered. Edited October 7, 2018 by The Forgetful Archivist
Oversleep Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Hoid is the like second oldest (or just one of the oldest) being in Cosmere, so... Quote [...] Questioner (...) Hoid is amazing. I figured he was really old but it's cool knowing for sure that he's exceptionally old. Brandon Sanderson He is one of the oldest people in the cosmere, but he is not the oldest. Questioner Ahhh... Brandon Sanderson The person he is writing a letter to is indeed older than he is. source He is older than Scadrial. He is older than Shards although not necessarily older than their Vessels. Compared to him, Vasher is kinda young.
Nathrangking he/him Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 V_Spaceman I was wondering if you could elaborate on a past wob. You said that Hoid and Frost are two of the oldest beings in the Cosmere. Does that include the vessels? Are the original 16 vessels younger than Hoid and Frost? Brandon Sanderson In the current outline, Hoid predates the others by a bit--he'd already started aging oddly before the Shattering. But that's not strict cannon yet. (You can find evidence of it in Dragonsteel.) source
DawnStalker Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Wow! He is so old. Maybe over all that time that is where he got his well- nurtured sense of humour from. I love all of the scenes with wit in it, although he is funniest in the Stormlight Archive I think.
Ashertliden Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Hoid/Wit/Midius/Cephandrius was alive prior to the shattering of Adonalsium, and is alive during Bands of Mourning, placing him approximately 11,000 years old* at the oldest we've seen him that I know of. *Using this cosmere timeline: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJtJhHwpKdow01n2-bsT3scVvqJd6lZh4uvpNwcslv8/edit#gid=0
HSuperLee Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 He's old enough that he's getting tired of waiting for people to invent instant ramen. 2
