I know Aronack, who claims to be Oreon (though we know Aronack is his "true name"), doesn't seem very much like Preservation, but the Oreon and Xeth share strong lore parallels with Preservation/Ruin ie Oreon is White and Xeth is Black, just like Preservation and Ruin.

he already agreed that his champion would face dalinar's. Even if he doesn't like Dalinar's champion, he still has to go through with it. Hoid will not be fighting odium, he will be fighting odium's champion. Plus, Odium wasn't able to destroy hoid after he discovered him at the end of RoW, though he was able to take some of his breaths.

I was thinking the other day about the contest of champions and who the champion would be. While I strongly doubt this is going to happen Hoid seems like an obvious choice for champion. The terms specify the contest is a fight for the death, and Hoid is basically immortal. I'm pretty sure the only thing on Roshar that could harm him would be Nightblood, as as long as Odium's champion doesn't have that, Dalinar wins because his champion isn't defeated. EDIT: I know Hoid is incapable of hurting people, but the point is that he can't be defeated.

Something interesting I noticed while rereading Oathbringer is that the Stormfather says "In these millennia none [of the Heralds] have ever died and returned to Damnation" (OB cp 38). As the SF from the prologue senses the death of a Herald, that means if the "Stormfather" from the prologue is really him then he flat out lied to Dalinar in Oathbringer.

I was wondering would Mistborns and Radiants be considered to be highly Invested naturally? My interpretation is that they are not naturally Invested like the Returned but instead used lots of Investiture. However, in Mistborn: Secret History Kelsier is able to stay in the cognitive realm longer becuase he was invested. This doesn't make sense to be because he wasn't actually Invested, he just used Investiture from the metals when he burned them.
