Hello.
I am new to the forum (and introduced myself as the good boy I am
) and wanted to greet you all sanderson addicts (and those who aren't, too, I must act polite in my first posts
).
I have been around for some days and have read the posts about Hoid and the shards, which I believe are very intriguing issues.
Have you read books set in Moorcocks' Multiverse? I don't know why, but Hoid makes me remember them. Of course, there's the Eternal Champion, which is a man who exists in all planes of existance, but there is also the Companion, not a hero, but the Hero's friend and minion.
Before reading about the Hoid phenomenon I didn't notice it, but now I believe he could be something like that, he is there where a shard exists. Also, he gives information (very little to Sarene, a little to Kelsier, none to Vin and a lot to Siri).
I just wanted to present the idea in order for anyone who feels like that to ponder it, but I'll give it more thought.
And, Ookla, that reference abouth Hoid = Dioh is very obscure, are you by chance a language researcher?
Hey, I am from Andalucia and even I didn't think of it.
