Toaster Retribution he/him Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 So, I’m interested in the fact that Brandon has Shallan see similarities between Hoid and Mraize, when she first meets Mraize in WoR. This has to mean something. Brandon has never compared another character to Hoid the way he does with Mraize. So, is this a hint about a connection between Mraize and Hoid? Or is it a hint about something?
Zelly Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Agree there's gotta be something there. We know via WoB that Mraize is native to Roshar, so not likely to be a Yolen connection. As far I know we have zero info on how old Mraize is....so anywhere between 30 and several thousand. But I don't think it's an actual connection between the two as much as it is that they give off the same vibe of "this person knows things others don't and doesn't fear what others do". Or....I think Hoid is using emotional allomancy a lot during his interactions with people. Maybe Mraize is as well and Shallan is sensing this on some level. 3
+Invocation Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Quote Aesicar [PENDING REVIEW] What does Hoid think of the Ghostbloods and what do they think of him? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] The Ghostbloods are intrigued, and he is unimpressed. Skyward Houston signing (Nov. 19, 2018) Could be that Mraize is trying to emulate Hoid and that's why Shallan notes the similarity. 2
