Brandon Sanderson / Re: Hoid??
« on: June 15, 2009, 06:51:33 PM »On the topic of Hoid in WoA....
So I asked Brandon Sanderson at the release party if Hoid was the man I mentioned earier, or if it was the old man who claims Sazed to be the Holy First Witness, or the guy who found the correct properties for duraluminum, and Brandon said no.
But he did say that he was in there.
Now I'll have to reread WoA after reading Warbreaker.....
Yeah, the guy who discovered duralumin was named Terion, so, obviously, I was way off. Be that as it may, Brandon Sanderson did say that it was a good guess. Terion does fit your proposed criteria for being Hoid, in that the main characters seek him out and he helps them learn something valuable about the magic system or nature of their world or with some other seemingly insurmountable problem. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone else who fulfills these requirements in WoA.
