Senor Feesh Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 So on another threadElwynn kindly directed me to Isaac Stewart's site, for a nice look at tWoK internal illustrations. And I couldn't help but notice, tucked in with the Heralds... Who's the guy in the mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleric Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 My money would be on hoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubix Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 It is Hoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha'man Logain Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I also immediately thought of Hoid. As whether or not we're correct.... who knows? EDIT: Ok, it apparently IS Hoid. Yay! Edited March 14, 2013 by Asha'man Logain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubix Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It IS Hoid. Brandon HAS confirmed this at a signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelian Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Does this imply Hoid was present during the time of the Heralds? We know he was alive at the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairJ Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Even though this is not an "illustration", I guess this is not how I pictured Hoid... Maybe it is just that he looks like he is going to a masked ball. Speaking of this, is it a possibility that Hoid change his appearance when going to other worlds?

Senor Feesh Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) He's done it at least once, on Scadrial. In WoA he meets Elend disguised as a Terrisman. Also, the 17th Shard on Roshar state he might be in disguise, or under an assumed name. EDIT - It's a cross-cosmere spoiler, so I've included tags as this is a WoK thread.

Phantom Monstrosity Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Of course technically he's always under a false name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was in disguise, but I am referring to actual facial differences. I can put on a disguise now and "be somebody else" but I am thinking of something like the Faceless Men from GoT. I do not think we know if this is the case yet. Could be interesting. Of course technically he's always under a false name. Yes of course. And this is technically the second Hoid from what I understand. So maybe not even a name, more of a title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelian Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yes of course. And this is technically the second Hoid from what I understand. So maybe not even a name, more of a title? Wait, what? Hoid has been around since before Adonalsium shattered.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashWrogan Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Wait, what? Hoid has been around since before Adonalsium shattered.... He has, but there are some non-canon tidbits in the Liar of Partinel chapters that get into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krelian Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I don't really want to know details, honestly, since I like reading stuff as Brandon publishes it. I'm quite frustrated by the presence of a single copy of Dragonsteel at BYU, really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried an interlibrary loan, but it got rejected and after checking on the BYU library site, their are still 5 requests for this book, so it is a "get in line" situation. Hasn't someone just scanned and made a PDF out of it yet!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 He says that Hoid is a pseudonym in Stormlight Archive, IIRC. Uhhm, surely not only in TWoK/SA because Hoid shows up as Hoid in The Final Empire (Ch. 19). Or did I misunderstand you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did I misunderstand you? Check his conversation with Kaladin... I don't have an ebook, lemme dig up my paper copy for a transcript... "Well, what do men call you now?" "Many a thing, and only some of them polite. Almost all are true, unfortunately. You, however, may call me Hoid." "Your name?" "No. The name of somone I should have loved. Once again, this is a thing I stole." Edited March 14, 2013 by Phantom Monstrosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't someone just scanned and made a PDF out of it yet!!!! I tried this as well. However, they just rejected me outright, and didnt even get in the line. I would have had it for at most 3 days plus or minus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
