RShara

I saw that but it kinda doesn't make a lot of sense.  Dalinar is probably a better leader, and at least has a consistent intelligence than Mr. T.  I wonder how T-Centric the Diagram is... lol...Given that the more "brilliant" he is, the less common sense he seems to have, I think he has a really big blind spot on who would be best to lead the nations of Roshar.

Yeah, Zahel has obviously traveled some long distances, but Hoid really gets places, and fits more with the unpredictable implications of the quote.    For one thing, you never know what he's going to say next!

A little off topic but related--has anyone noticed the gender relations of the spren to their bondmates?  Each human seems to bond a spren of the opposite gender (except for Dalinar who might have bonded the shard of Honor).  I wonder if this is a coincidence or has some deeper implication.  We know that people of either gender can join most orders, so are there male and female windspren?  Hmmm...

Question/thought...  Can stormlight be used to power Allomancy?  I would guess not, given that Hoid downed some metals...  But maybe more like a Duralumin affect even...  

 

Of course she recognizes Hoid.  He works for her brother as Wit...  They've admitted to knowing eachother at least once a piece.

I meant as more than just the king's Wit

So I downloaded WOR at about 1230, and my lack of self control to go to sleep has me on page 727 right now.

Spoliers following, and I don't recall how to tag, so don't precede if you aren't that far.

 

So far I have two things that pop out at me regarding Hoid/Wit. The first happened earlier in the book, and wasn't enough of a "new" thing for me to mention, but I'll put it here anyway. When Hoid is talking in regards to women, he mentions there is only one woman on this planet his age, and she didn't like him that much. Now we know he's talking about Cultivation, and that he knew the Shards personally, I just thought this interesting.

 

The thing I thought more interesting, is a confirmation of a minimum level of power he seems to have taken from Nalthis. It seems that Hoid has at least enough Breathes to make him a second level awakener at minimum(to go with his bead of Lerasium, his Lightweaving, and other things he has).  As he is tuning his instrument he says "Perfect Pitch makes this all so much easier than it once was..." I wonder what it will take for him to convince a spren to bond him?

I caught the perfect pitch bit   I wonder what he was doing on Nalthis this time...Is he the one that got Nightblood for Naln?

Is Jasnah world hopping too?  Or was she in Shadesmar the whole time?  Her attire and pack seem to imply that she was going extensive physical traveling.  AND she recognizes Hoid.  INteresting...!

But who is the wanderer, the wild piece, the one who makes no sense?  I glimpse at his implications, and the world opens to me.  I shy back.  Impossible.  Is it?

-          From the Diagram, West Wall Psalm of Wonders: paragraph 8

(Notew by Adrotagia: Could this refer to Mraize?)

I'm thinking this refers to Hoid.  I wish we could get hold of the entire Diagram

I hope the  title isn't too spoilery!  Anyway the Diagram--did anyone else feel like it was a nod toward Isaac Asimov and psychohistory?  And the Ghostbloods like the Second Foundation, trying to keep it on course?

Can't wait to see what else he predicts.  I wonder why Dalinar suing for peace means he has to be killed.  Is it because of what's already happened (Parshendi betrayal) or something yet to come?

I'm going for WOW!!!!!!!!!!

then
