I thought that was the point of RoW's epilogue. Hoid always seemed untouchable and one step ahead of everyone else, but Taravangian managed to get the better of him. Which if true, is kind of terrifying. It is a really terrifying possibility, considering how well Taravangian fits Odium. But for me, Hoid is a being that has lived thousands of years, outsmarted every Shard in the Cosmere, was in every place at the right time to take what he wanted, and if it is Sanderson's idea to make him the main "enemy", then him being outsmarted by a 60 ~ 70 year old man (I won't mention if Taravangian still has Cultivation's Boon, since we don't know if he lost it or kept it) who just Ascended, doesn't really make sense to me.

I'll leave this new WoB here https://wob.coppermind.net/events/475/#e14990 Questioner My friends and I have been endlessly debating whether Wit knew what happened to him at the end of Rhythm, when he said "that went exactly as I planned," if he knew he was gonna get duped? Or if he got hornswoggled? Brandon Sanderson He legitimately got hornswoggled. One of the opening chapters of the next book is going to be him realizing that. There's a little teaser for you.

FanX 2021 (Sept. 16, 2021) I stand corrected, so big T really bamboozled Hoid. But he realizes soon afterwards, so... We call it even? @Letryx13? Edited September 24, 2021 by Legui01010

We call it even? @Letryx13? That sounds fair. It'll be interesting to see how Hoid responds. If he's still determined to stop Odium, that would actually support my brother's theory, a little. Or maybe he'll just get annoyed and want to get even, lol.
