Haha this was brilliant!. I just thought that Curiosity was actually working for NASA in real life. That would be awesome

The book says that she has tan skin and dark eyes.

Analyzing what now?

Yes but Iyatil is quite short and William Ann was described as gangly and tall.

No you are all wrong. He's a shard. Adonalsium was actually a huge branch and then it shattered and gave us the stick!

So I was reading the Orem Library Signing on December 6 post and I came across this quote from zaz678: Assuming that Iyatil is actually the person Brandon is talking about and that she is a worldhopper then there is a high chance that we have seen her before somewhere. Now looking at what Brandon said about her not being from the same planet that her parents are from I can only think of how the people of Threnody had a history of migration and that some left the "homeland" or "fallen world" and moved to another continent. What if this "fallen world" was actually another planet? If all my ramblings are true and Iyatil is from Threndoy then there are only 2 people I can think of that could be her: Silence and Sebruki. Both are quite short (even though Sebruki is like 8 I think Brandon mentions that she is quite short anyway) I think Sebruki is a better match since she was really quite and deadly even as a child. So any thoughts? Also I don't know how to use quotes from other posts so can someone please tell me how to do that?

I got 15. As a massive Disney fan I am quit disappointed in myself

Power Rangers?

I'm no good at this game I'm not really familiar with Beowolf but I figured that maybe it's an old literally piece that you were talking about. Plus Illiad fits. Someone had predicted Paris would be the downfall of Troy rather poetically and by stealing Helen all the tribes of Greece join together to rape and pillage the Trojans. Sorry went on a tangent there

The Illiad? So the movie Troy?

Inglourious Basterds?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

When you get overly excited that a friend knows who Brandon Sanderson is, but disappointment that they only know him from finishing Wheel of Time and then seriously consider de-friending them when they say he could've done a better job :S

First hats off to you for your counter argument. Now its my turn. 1. I agree that Nazh is not necessarily a member of the 17th shard... but he doesn't have to be. I didn't even think he was a member until you brought it up. I just thought that he was Khriss' employee. This leaves us with two possibilities: a) he is a member of the 17th shard and thus Khriss is his superior in the system: So from the information we have it can be assumed that (with respect to the letter) he would have a general idea who Hoid is. If Hoid isn't known to the "underling members of the 17th shard" then I still think Khriss would tell him about him to some extent as Hoid is far too important and meddling not to know who he is. he is not a member of the 17th shard: This means that Khriss is his employer and is either using him with the knowledge of the organisation or on her own which means Khriss would have to give him ore info than just a normal member cause he is doing her dirty work. In either of these situations Nazh is a worldhopper and is present and "observing" things that he shouldn't be able to, similar to how Hoid is in places where important things are happening. He retrieved Shallan or Jasnah's stuff from the ocean (sorry I'm fuzzy on the details) and looked at bridge four before anyone else knew of their links. In my mind this means that Khriss is using the same method as Hoid in figuring out important events (I'm not going to say seeing the future because I just think its more sensing where to be). There is no way that abilities like this won't give you at least some knowledge of the ransom anomaly that is Hoid popping up everywhere. 2. I still think Nazh who is a Worldhopper and observer as enough knowledge about lightweaving to see through Hoid's disguises (I think that is primary method of changing his appearance) I agree that he might have not been in Hoid's vicinity yet but he should notice him soon. Wit has been with Kaladin quit a few times, seen Shallan, brought back Taln and is now with Jasnah (though we don't know how that works). All these would be suspicious! If you are a good enough spy you would notice any of these and I believe Nazh is a good spy seeing that Khriss is the most cosmere aware person in the universe so I think she would hire only the best! Sorry this is a bit jumbled up but I was never good at debating anyway

So is this guy a real person or is Brandon trying to troll us? I think everyone part of the 17th shard organisation knows who Hoid is and what he "generally" looks like. Also people can see through his disguises if they know what they are looking for. Remember how Siri figured Hoid was pretending to be older than he was? I'm not saying that they have run into each other but pretty much most people know that the King has a wit and that wit is crazy. Also if Nazh knows to keep an eye on Shallan and I'm assuming other members of the Kholin family, then he must have an idea of their entourage which the wit is part of. I'm not disagreeing with you, but if Nazh was my employee and he failed to notice Hoid he would probably be losing a few paychecks!

How do we know Nazh's full name is "Nazrilof"? Do we have WoB confirming this? This is news to me. I always thought Khriss was just working independently and wasn't tied to anyone except Nazh. So if Khriss is part of 17th shard why didn't she tell the 3 guys at the purelake where Hoid was? We know that Nazh was spying for her and there is no way he wouldn't notice Hoid as the king's wit at the shattered plains.

We're 17th sharders... I thought speculation was part of the job description!

I thought he has. I think that there are a limited number of worldhoppers anyway (probably 1 or 2 from each planet) so since we already have Demoux and the Terriswoman from the Scadrial then if there is another worldhopper on Roshar other than Demoux it would be the woman. Also if she is his girlfriend maybe she doesn't like separation so she follows him around the Cosmere so they are at least on the same planet.

Short people can find "imaginative" places to rest for the night. My friend who is 4 foot 9 once slept in a dryer after she lost her keys after a night out. True Story.

I'm sure he said something like a Terriswoman is running around and we can find her. If she is a member o 17th Shard then it stands to reason that she would also be on Roshar unless Brandon specified its a Terrisman there instead. Do you have WoB conformation on either?

Was there a terriswoman worldhopper in Warbreaker? How do we know this? Also I thought Brandon said that there was a terriswoman in WoR not a dude.
