The prevailing theory on the 17th Shard is that Hoid worldhops using Shadesmar. Could you confirm or deny that?
Hoid has indeed gotten between worlds before through Shadesmar.
And would you be willing to give us a hint as to how he does that?
There are hints in the books. There is a hint in the very first cosmere book I released [ Elantris ]. Which I thought was a huge hint, but so far I haven’t seen anyone talking about it.
Really?
Mmhmm. I thought that once people started figuring the cosmere, they would see the massive in-your-face hint I put in that book, but so far, as far as I know, no one has. [Some chat about Brandon’s tendency to drop sneaky hints and how he likes doing that] Now, the one [hint] about the map, that one I don’t think is obvious. I know people have been trying to figure it out. It’s something fun once you figure it out, but it’s not something huge and obvious. The Elantris once was, like, enormously “HIIINT!”
