Are we going to see Hoid's flute again?

Brandon Sanderson

Hoid is very disappointed in the loss of his flute and would like to recover it.

Who owns the shop that Kaladin finds the missing flute and the wooden horse? Is it anyone significant?

Brandon Sanderson

There is significance to how those items arrived there, but the significance does not directly involve the person selling them.

My question for you is this - I got the heeby-jeebies when Shallan heard about Amaram's collection of flutes within just a few pages of Wit bringing up the flute Kaladin lost?

All I can think of is that either: A) Wit's flute will end up among Amaram's collection to resurface later or B) In his work with the Sons of Honor, Amaram or his fellows have stumbled across some flute-related magic or splinterization and his flutes are the brethren and sistren of Wit's flute.

Is either of these the case? Or is there some other significance to Amaram's collection of nigh forbidden flutes?

Brandon Sanderson

It is significant. It is not a huge deal, but it is significant.

Questioner

So, Kaladin met Hoid a long long time ago, and Hoid gave him a very important flute that he has not learned how to play. Is he ever going to put the time in to get good at that? Or is that just something we're going to have to wait for?

Brandon Sanderson

You'll have to wait for. Kaladin has a lot of things on his mind. He sure could use something to keep him from stressing out, but you're just gonna have to wait and see if Kaladin understands the reason he was given a flute, or not.

Questioner

So when Hoid gives Kaladin the Worldsinger flute and then he kind of just leaves it behind... Is that making a reappearance or was that kind of like a "Kaladin, you dope" moment?

Brandon Sanderson

RAFO.
