Captain Kaladin Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Did Hoid have any contact with Drewton? Wax assumes that Drewton found the coin at the end of BOM but I wonder if Hoid either influenced Drewton after Wax left New Seran to make sure the coin would get to Wax or more interestingly is it possible that Hoid is Drewton? We know that he has no trouble playing a role for a while and I think he already has full lightweaving by the time we see him in Era 2 right? It doesn’t seem like he would enjoy playing a character like Drewton but it just seemed weird to me that the coin ended up with Wax again at the end so it seemed like Hoid probably made extra sure to get it to him.
Weltall Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) There's really no reason to posit any connection at all. The coin was in Wax's pocket and that's how Drewton discovered it, along with everything else he found in there like a bottle cap. The way the man is described as laying everything out neatly (and in a way that makes it clear this is expected behavior from him) means we don't need any connection from Hoid to explain why the coin is there or why it's presented in a way that Wax might notice it. And yes, Stormlight Archive's first half takes place before Era 2 so Hoid should have full Lightweaving at this point. Unless something happened in the interim anyways.
