So I wasn't sure if this should go in the Adonalsium topic, the Hoid topic, or if it deserved a topic of its own. After thinking strongly about it I decided that it deserved its own topic, due to the fact that it would fit in either of them and it would cause a kind of fused discussion of the two topics.
While talking with EUOL today I had asked about Hoid being Midius from Partinel. He said he had many names, but avoided a yes or no answer. I then asked if Hoid was a shard, he said no and then said something about how no one has read the end of Partinel due to its not being written well and the plethora of spoilers it contains. . . .
He then told me that Hoid was there when Adonalsium was shattered.
Does this mean that is what happens at the end of Partinel? Was it Hoid's fault that Adonalsium was shattered? What is/was Adonalsium when it was whole? Is Hoid bound to the Shards and that is why he shows up on Shard worlds and seems to somehow support the power of them? (i.e. helping the Elantrians, which lead to fixing the Dor. Helping them overthrow ruin and bring the two Shards together?)
I personally believe that after having broke Adonalsium, Hoid is committed to reuniting the Shards and rebuilding Adonalsium. Whether it is something he wants to do as per saving Adonalsium, a punishment, or a goal of power, I don't know.
