Would you be willing to share the failed process that Hoid used to attempt to become an Elantrian?
No.
Wit states, "Some men as they age, grow wiser. I am not one of those, for wisdom and I have always been at cross-purpose, and I have yet to learn the tongue in which she speaks." Is Hoid referring to wisdom as a concept?
*Sly smile* RAFO.
About Hoid...
Yes.
Is he a sand master?
Hoid? You will have to read and find out in White Sand! I'm not gonna answer that.
What was Wit doing during the hunt of the chasmfiend near the beginning of The Way of Kings?
That's a RAFO.
So we'll find out?
A RAFO does not mean you'll find out. A RAFO just means I'm not answering this right now.
What the heck happened, did Taravangian do to Wit?
You'll find out more in the next book. He stole a few of his Breaths, and they had memories attached to them.
With Hoid, we know that he's got some sort of Lightweaving, Yolen magic. If we're gonna hypothetically say that he bonds with the Cryptic, at the end of Oathbringer. Talking about resonance between magic systems, what are we going to see if he tried the two together? Would they be separate? Or would they form some sort of resonance magic system?
So, I'm gonna go ahead and RAFO that.
Is Hoid the one that comes out of the lake that Rock is talking about? *photo pause* Or you can't tell me?
I am going to give you a RAFO card.
Favorite thing Hoid's done?
RAFO, sorta. A lot of his fave things have happened off screen that we're not supposed to know about (yet). Wit is his fave role that we've seen!
Is Hoid's flute actually [the Lord Ruler]'s?
RAFO!
Do Zahel and Hoid know each other?
They've met.
Otherwise, RAFO.
Was Elantris (the book) the first time Hoid has even been to Sel. If not, how deep is his connection with the Enefel(s)? ;) and was Hoid on good terms with Aona and Skai before their deaths?
Is Cultivation 'broken' in some way?
RAFOs all around.
Kelsier went and touched Hoid, and then he [Kelsier] got hurt. Can you tell us anything about that?
Could I tell you? Yes. Will I tell you? RAAFFOO card!
At the end of Rhythm of War, is the coin that Hoid had before meeting Odium a metalmind?
Oh, RAFO.
Question about Hoid--
Okay. RAFO. *laughter* No, no, go ahead…
When Hoid said that Ivory wasn't capable of harming him, is that related to his stated difficulty in harming others?
RAFO.
How Hoid has ended up being a Feruchemist? Is it by a method we familiar with (like Hemalurgy) or he has another way to manipulate his sDNA?
RAFO.
In Secret History, outside of Fadrex City, Kelsier was in the Cognitive and Hoid was in the Physical. Kelsier touched Hoid and got hurt. How did that happen and was it intentional?
RAFO.
So, in Oathbringer, you said that Hoid still has a god worshipping him. Can you give some back story to that?
I cannot, I mean I can, but I'm not going to.
It will be revealed later?
Maybe. I plan to get all of this stuff eventually into his memoir when he writes it. Or when I write his memoir for him.
Did Hoid play a part in introducing Stormlight to humanity as told in The Girl Who Looked Up?
RAFO, I'm afraid.
A while back someone asked if Hoid's sword is Nightblood, you said that was interesting. Is it similarly Invested?
I'm going to RAFO that. It is a very interesting question.
Has Hoid ever visited the planet Braize?
*singing* RAFO! Such a big RAFO! The biggest RAFO!
I feel (strongly) that Hoid might be a conjured being. As he states he started life as words on a page. Either he knows that he's a character in a book or someone wrote a spell and poofed him into existence. (or you have another origin for him that I'm not considering) I just figured I'd ask and see what you thought.
RAFO. (You expected something else?)
:)
Is Hoid gonna ever end up being <the new Adonalsium>?
I will not answer that.
<What's going on> with Hoid's soul He's spiritually blind. Shardblades can't hurt him. Is it because his soul is not with him currently?
RAFO.
Was Hoid burning bendalloy in the Braize vision?
RAFO.
Is the guy he took his name from related to Hoid?
Define related.
Blood related.
I'm going to RAFO that.
Do you want to build up Hoid to be a character like Randall Flagg?
RAFO
What were Wayne and Hoid talking about outside the carriage?
RAFO
Who is Midius?
You're getting a RAFO card. There's no way for me to answer that even in the slightest without giving away spoilers.
Is Hoid going to be Jasnah's Wit?
RAFO
How many Truths has Wit currently spoken?
RAFO! That's definitely a RAFO.
You've said before Hoid has had many love interests throughout his life. Does he have a bunch of distant descendants running around the cosmere?
RAFO.
Does Wit ever get his memories back?
I will RAFO that. It will be dealt with, though; in the next book, he will notice.
Is Hoid's inability to hurt others due to an enhanced version of the effect that makes Szeth and Wayne hear voices?
RAFO.
Is that likely or unlikely?
I'm just going to RAFO that entirely because it plays into things from Dragonsteel.
How are the letters between Hoid and Frost getting delivered?
That is read and find out.
Would Soothing/Rioting have more, less or equal effect on Hoid than regular humans(if he can burn copper, lets assume he isn't) If the effect is not equal, is it due to him being much more Invested than normal beings or some other factor?
RAFO.
Which of the roles Hoid has played is your favorite? And will we be seeing him in Dalinar's flashbacks?
So which of the roles played by Hoid is my favorite. I would probably say Dust from Warbreaker. I just like-- That's the most true storyteller he's been, kind of based on oral storytelling tradition and things like that.
I can't tell you. You'll have to read and find out whether you'll find him in Dalinar's flashbacks or not.
I have a question about the man at the end of Rhythm of War that Kaladin finds, that used to recollect lost objects from the Shattered Plains, such as Rock's razor or even Tien's horse. Will we get to know more about him, or is it just a random man?
So, what is happening there is all RAFO material. I'm not gonna answer any specifics about Tien's horse or even about Tien. There are lots of ways you can theorize that this happened, and I'm not gonna canonize which of them it is. One of those includes Hoid and his shenanigans, that's a possibility. One of which is kind of some Fortune being bent around what's going on. Other possibilities are that there's a divine manifestation. I'm not gonna say which of those it is, but there are lots of plausible answers there.
Are we going to see any of the truths that Wit-- that Hoid speaks in [Stormlight 4]?
*slides RAFO card across table*
[Asking for clairification on question not contained in audio]
In Way of Kings?
*Makes RAFO face*
But then [Hoid] has to have a flute [to Lightweave], I don't think he had to have the flute? He thought he had to have help [Lightweaving], so he found other things instead of spren. Is that right Brandon?
Has Hoid had a direct interaction with the Nightwatcher at this point. You said he'd be calling her very nasty names?
*nervous laughter* Hoid is… let's go ahead and RAFO that one.
For Hoid: how old is he at the end of Oathbringer?
Very old. *gives RAFO card* Here you go, here's your card.
Does Hoid have any Hemalurgic spikes?
I will RAFO that one.
1) Is Hoid still holding his Dawnshard?
2) If not, is the Dawnshard currently hold by Rysn the same as Hoid's or a different?
3) Nikli mentions 4 Dawnshards. Are there more than that?
4) Are all the Dawnshards currently (as of SA 4) on Roshar? Or in the Rosharan System?
5) Are there some of them on worlds we have already seen (Scadrial, Sel, Threnody, etc...)?
Hoid Dawnshard is a RAFO.
Same.
There are only four Dawnshards.
RAFO on whether they're on this planet or not.
These are great questions, but Dawnshard info is mostly for the future cosmere books--and so I consider most of it very RAFOy.
"Same," here meant RAFO. I answer these quickly, I'm afraid, particularly when they come in a list like that.
Hoid has Lerasium and breaths, Does Hoid have anything from Sel? Soul stamps perhaps?
RAFO. :)
Wit says an expression, "Speak your fears at a mirror when you get home tonight." I've never heard that. Is that a real-world thing? Or is that, like, a Yolish thing?
Yeah, that's not a real-world thing.
Any clues to what's going on with that?
No, I won't give any clues. I'll RAFO that.
Did Hoid conference in on Harmony's chat with Wax?
*laughter* RAFO. *laughter*
