what if Hoid is a direct part of Adonalsium.. sort of like ruin and preservation were split into 3 parts on Scadriel. what is the same side-effect of these shards being split is exactly what happened to adonalsium and hoid is just one of these components

another thing i find kind of curious about hoid is his mention of being named for a rock.
“A beautiful one,” the man said. “And one that became completely worthless for my wearing it.”
do you think this could tie into his actual origin and role as some sort of associate with Adonalsium - isn't Adonalsium thought of as a "crystal"
or could it be just one of the aliases he's used on the worlds he's visited, known and otherwise.

i really like that idea of Hoid just using shadesmar to get between the worlds. and if he is able to manipulate and access shadesmar with such skill wouldnt it be possible that he'll eventually run into jasnah or shallan as they make one of their trips to shadesmar?

and the "must" he is referring to is leaving the shattered plains, elhokar and all the other nobility this whole conversation was at one of elhokars dinner parties.

Brandon Sanderson / Hoid's Shard abilities in WoK (minor spoilers)

so i was reading WoK again today and i noticed this particular passage by Wit (Hoid)

“I must. I hope to return. I’ll do so if I’m not killed. Probably will anyway. Apologize to your nephew for me.”

he's remarking that even if he gets killed he'll still most likely come back. is this hoid just being sarcastic and messing around or do you think its a hint at one of the abilities he has besides planet-hopping? like every time he dies he can come back again? it would definitely fit in with Hoid being this amazing uebermensch/superman character

Brandon Sanderson / Re: WOK: Navani's Notebook Translation *MAJOR SPOILERS*

first off i just have to say major kudos goes to being able to translate that entire page... from scratch! thats just plain impressive. and i think that it wouldn't be that impractical to write out, in mean look at other languages such as japanese, russian, and similar alphabets/languages. to a plain old speaker of english it seems incredibly hard to write in those languages while to a native speaker its just natural.

so i was wondering if there was anyone with some artistic abilities (unlike myself) who could do a sketch of what the parshendi look like? the description of them having red and black skin and the carapace armor. it just sounded so awesome!
