I don't know if anyone mentioned these before, but: On ch. 92, pg. 920 (hardcover), it says "...master of wind and Truth." Should "wind" be capitalized here? Ch. 78, pg. 781 (hardcover), at first I thought it was a typo, but only now realized it isn't, so maybe it could be reworded? "She thought the erosion would eventually win, especially after seeing it had done so on the far eastern side of the Shattered Plains, but that was probably eons away." I thought it was a typo and was meant to be "...especially after seeing what it had done so far on the...", but now realize that "after seeing it had done so" means "especially after seeing [the erosion] had [won]," since "it" is referring to the aforementioned erosion, and "had done so" means "winning." Ch 18., pg. 168, near the very bottom (hardcover): "Wit leapt to his feet. 'I'm an absolute fool! The most awe-inspiring, spectacular example of idiocy this side of the cosmere." To me, this doesn't make sense. I assume it is a typo and meant to say something along the lines of "...example of idiocy this side of the cosmere has ever seen." or "...example of idiocy on this side of the cosmere."

I don't know posts here matter anymore, but: Around the middle of page 53 (ch. 2) of the Way of Kings paperback (not mass-market, but the big paperback): Note the extra space after the second em dash (—). All other em dashes—both on this page and throughout Sanderson's books—that I've seen have no spaces before or after them (or none that I've noticed).

How does Hoid know what Tress is thinking and everything that happens "off-screen" (when he's not around)? For example: (Tress ch. 29, p. 161) In Yumi, I recall him explaining something about Connection that allowed him to see through their eyes or something similar, but I don't remember him every giving an explanation in Tress. Here are some thoughts: Hoid had some Connection he didn't explain, like in Yumi. He asked the characters to give him the full story. Hoid made up parts (likely minor details, but possibly major parts) of the tale. Are we trusting Hoid to be accurate/reliable while narrating? If not, is that because he would intentionally alter the story, or because he may have made some more minor changes? I also want to mention this: (Wind and Truth spoilers) So, how do you all think Hoid is able to tell the story of Tress?

When I saw this forum lol (I already finished Tress a few months back, but saw this thread while reading and got an unfortunate spoiler, but it wasn't too bad). This has happened to me before, because I have a tendency to look up all these things and end up unintentionally finding spoilers like Thaidakar's identity, sometimes just by typing it into the search bar (advice: don't).

Hi everyone, This is my first post on 17thshard, and I have some theories, observations, and questions to share. I'll do them in separate posts, and this is one. I have read all of the published Cosmere works except Sixth of Dusk and White Sand (and Isles of the Emberdark if that counts), so please put content from those that I haven't read in spoiler tags. I don't think anyone else posted about this before, but it's possible. So, here are the images I am talking about: (https://coppermind.net/wiki/File:HoidPromo.jpg#/media/File:HoidPromo.jpg) (from https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonsteel/surprise-four-secret-novels-by-brandon-sanderson) First of all, why are the images different? Are both correct? Are they actually accurate in-world? Here is a WoB I found, which actually led me to think about this (I added emphasis. I also find the last paragraph by Isaac interesting): So I saw that and then wondered where in the Cosmere Hoid is in the above photos. I noticed that the stars (or some of them) seem to match the Arcanum Unbounded star map, so that's a good sign. It looks like there is Taln's Scar/The Scar/Red Rip in the top-right corner, and possibly Threnody in the lower left of the Hoid picture (it is the only red star not in Taln's Scar in the AU map, and the same is true in the Hoid picture. In the image from Coppermind with the large planets/moons in the background, I realized that it could be the Rosharen system. I thought the biggest one could be Roshar. Then, the three in the front (the next-largest as viewed in the photo) could be the three moons: That would make the two behind and to the left of "Roshar" Ashyn and Braize (the colors match): If all that is true, then what is the fourth ringed planet/moon? It probably isn't one of the ten gas giants, since they are thought to not have rings: Wind and Truth spoiler I think: Also, we still have the planet/moon that Hoid is standing on, which might even be Roshar itself, though I don't know if all three moons plus Ashyn and Braize are ever visible at once. Edit: the two planets/moons that are unaccounted for could be the/a result of some major event that happens in the "future," and Hoid is simply in the "future." This makes sense (at least the future part), since we know that the SPs are set after SA and in the future of the Cosmere. Also note that Hoid has a "Silverlight Key" on his cloak at his left shoulder. Why are the planets/moons drawn to be slightly transparent? Stars are visible behind them (or, possibly, in front, though that is extremely unlikely unless they aren't stars.) Anyway, those are my thoughts. Let me know what you all think. Basically I'm just wondering about this specific image.
