Hoid, a man of many talents.

Are we aware of how Hoid can worldhop even though he is a lightweaver? Invested beings from Roshar/Honor is normally extremely hard to get off world, but Hoid seems to do it regularly. Mraise tells Shallan that Radiants are bound to Roshar. So what's the deal?

It isn't published yet, but Brandon has released a sample chapter, which, like the RoW sample chapters on Tor.com, is largely canonical aside from a few minor wording things.

can you share that? tor is a confusing site to navigate

Is there any indication that Hoid has been to another world since bonding Design? If he has, maybe he leaves her behind in Shadesmar.

We've seen him in on Scadrial in BoM which is between SA5 and 6. Leaving her behind wouldn't work, radiant's cant get far from their sprens.

You can go to Arcanum and look it up in the search bar

Or for events (RoW release party)

Maybe he does some trickery with an unsealed metalmind to store their bond while he's away. Or something tragic happens to her in SA5...

I like that first one…

Though if she dies Hoid will be the one to do it I’d wager

Thinking about it more, I suspect Hoid will be the one that meets a tragic end. He's been taking a much more active role in events lately, sooner or later he's going to stick his neck out too far. I can definitely imagine him getting killed at some crucial moment, then showing up in the epilogue all like "See Kelsier, you're not the only one who knows how to make a dramatic exit!"

Plus it will make just about everyone confused or angry when he shows up in SA6, which is his favorite activity.

Nah, Hoid’s set to be a major character in Mistborn Era 4, the Space Opera™.

Do you think that means he can't die in the meantime? Plot armor only works when death is permanent.

Yeah, he can’t “die” but he could die onscreen only to be resurrected by one of his many talents. We don’t know how his healing works since we’ve never seen it in action, only that it’s apparently so effective that hardly anyone could kill him, including a Radiant.
