I remember the first time I listened to this scene on the audiobook. I had only just recently found out about Hoid and all of that, and I never expected to get a scene like this from a guy who I thought just made cameos. I was sitting on the shore of a lake in Wisconsin, USA, and it was late at night. It was a little windy, and chilly. I remember how the imagery and the music I imagined blended so well together, not only with itself, but also with my immediate surroundings. That, coupled with the excitement of seeing Hoid in such an involved role/scene, made this so memorable to me. Man, I love this series. EDIT: I also just realized something: In thise scene, Hoid tells Kaladin a story about a group of people losing the justification for their violent acts. The people of the island thought what they were doing was right, because the emperor told them it had to be that way. Later on, Kaladin does the exact same thing to Szeth. Szeth considered himself bound to anyone holding his oathstone, therefore any violence he caused had the justification of him following his oath, serving his punishment. By nature of being a radiant, he removes Szeth's justification for killing all the people he did, e because Szeth then knew that he wasn't wrong about their return, and was never truthless.
I didn't think of that Szeth connection! The only thing I saw was that the final chapter is called "In the top room", and we find out the Almighty was dead. Just like the people of the island finding their emperor dead, the Alethi have to realise that their dogmatic Vorin culture has no justification. They've been doing things in the name of the Almighty for so long, and yet he's been dead this whole time. Not only that but the emperor's body had been at the top of a tower, and Dalinar's betrayal takes place on "the Tower" right before he finds out the truth of the Almighty. AND TO GO EVEN FURTHER, Brandon plays on the Vorin belief in symmetry by telling the story of Wandersail in chapter 57 and revealing the truth about the Almighty in chapter 75.
Hoid is always such a character. He's not my favorite, but he's involved in a lot of my favorite interactions. I especially like how he taunts prideful morons, but always is kind to the ones who need it (Dalinar, Shallan and Kaladin). I can't wait for when the Graphic Audio people get the Rhythm of War book updated to 'The Dog and the Dragon'. I seriously want to hear that one story.
Hold up didHoid really say to a potential windrunner :" Would that I could make my word carry stones, that would be something to see"? Words that can carry stones like oath that give acces to the surge of gravitation and adhesion. I mean that's pretty clever right there.
Any scene with Hoid is a good scene. He's one of my favorite characters of the Cosmere. I hope we get more Wit sceens or even a SL book about him. Who's ready for SL5?
Apparently, the book sanderson wrote after ELANTRIS was called dragonsteel, which was about hoid, but he said it needs more work, and that he might write it after stormlight TEN.
Definitely not. Hes one of the only few I can picture in my mind. But I can't help but hope for them to cast relatively unknown actors who have the right direction to coax a phenomenal performance from them. This goes for all cast members, but having Danny Devito as Wit would also make me immediately love whatever happens in his scenes 10 times more lmao
@@leevmeealone3360 Not even just because I imagine him as a scraggly little goblin running around poking Highprinces in the knees, but he's a nice enough person and an experienced enough actor to pull off emotional scenes like the one with Shallan really well. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
I agree with the comments about Wit's voice, he always sounded much more... I don't know, blasé and I guess witty (pardon the pun) in my head. But knowing what some of us know of Wit's real background at this point, maybe this voice was chosen for a reason? I don't know if BrandoSando has any input in the casting of audio books, but if he does, maybe we all were wrong about how Wit sounds? Maybe it sounds like this for a reason?
@@fantasylore8236 well Szeth is from Shinovar which is on the mainland of Roshar. It is surrounded by mountains whereas this is a story about a group of islands
ua-cam.com/video/5y1_x7IuCC8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=arvihara It may also be about those who take responsibility rather than turn to Odium. Taking responsibility for one's actions or inactions is a major theme of the Stormlight Archive.
Man, I don't like Hoid's voice at all jajajaja He reminds me of the dubbers in Spain who dub a comedy and make a "funny voice" instead of a normal one.

I really like this part. Any scene with Hoid is just awesome
I just finished Rhythm of War and man. Couldn't agree more.
Wit is awesome!
I really need answers to that rhythm of war epilogue
Coming back to listen to this story after it was referenced in Wind and Truth.
Man, the graphic audio makes this scene a lot better.

@@mircea_ciobanu Ok, wow. I never thought of that either.
I thought of zseth the first time I heard this story because of the truthless thing. I kind of think kalidin quotes this at zseth too
I didn't think of the parallel but you're absolutely right.
@@cmd_f5 So, are you a chainsaw that's made of heavy metal, or a chainsaw that likes heavy metal music, or somewhere in between?
The Flute + the soundtrack overall sounds amazing. props to Graphic Audio.
This story Heralds a difficult moment for our hero.
Don't tell Nale that though

"What does that make him?"
"I don't know. A witless?"
"I'll tell him you said that." haha
Support Graphic audio they are awesome.
One of the most magical scenes I've ever read in fiction 🙂

He's also an awakener so his words really can carry stones
Nobody expected an entire book about this boat.
Which book was that?
@@hoidtakesopioids Dawnshard
@@NormalLunk omg when should i read it ? I just finished way of the kings
@@xarmanhskafragos2516 it goes way of Kings, words of radiance, edgedancer, oathbringer, dawnshards, rhythm of war.
@@NormalLunk well Dawnshard didn’t actually have the Wandersail in it, merely a ship named after it

I can't help but to imagine Wit as Tom Hiddleston. I know it's because of his role as Loki, but am I the only one?

I don't even remember this chapter. Thanks for posting. I'll have to re listen to the whole thing..
This part made me think of zseth, and I think kal eventually quotes this story in the zseth fight
Ah this scene♥️♥️ magical✨
So funny how he mentioned Warbreaker at the end
Who is the voice behind Hoid? Whoever he is, he's fantastic!!!
Kaladin got soothed into the 6th dimension

Hoid can change his voice
Honestly this sounds just like the Hoid in my head. I like this casting.
This isn't the official audiobook
A fantastic story inside an other phenomenal story
Have you bought the graphic audio version of entire Stormlight Archive or what? 😂
Is there a way to listen to just that flute?
Sitting and occasionally playing with the minds of bridgemen
what is the flute melody called? and where can I find it?
What's the name of flute being played?
The story is about Szeth
Please tell me this is not spoiler
@@simp850 for Way of Kings only.
That is a very good point. I didn’t think about that until now

Is that Nathan Fillon?
Where are you? I miss these. Hope all is well.
sorry for that. too busy with work and a shitty laptop to boot. so it might take a while for new videos.
Only Sanderson and Gaiman could put a story within a story.
Still prefer the audio book
Man, I don't like Hoid's voice at all jajajaja
He reminds me of the dubbers in Spain who dub a comedy and make a "funny voice" instead of a normal one.
Hoid is supposed to be a whimsical character
I like it. It's kinda how I imagined it when hes playing with someone
Consider that he is essentially acting as a trickster God and playing with children (from his perspective).
