* TheVerse: ''Literature/{{Elantris}}'', ''Franchise/{{Mistborn}}'', ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive,'' ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}'', and several unpublished novels are in the one universe—Literature/TheCosmere (individual planets are known as Shardworlds). Much of what is known about the Cosmere comes from WordOfGod, and the hints about it in the books themselves tend to be less than obvious. A recurring character called Hoid has appeared subtly as a [[Literature/{{Elantris}} beggar]], [[Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy an informant]], [[Literature/{{Warbreaker}} a storyteller]], and (most notably) [[Literature/TheStormlightArchive the king's]] [[DeadpanSnarker Wit]]. Hoid's exact importance, motive, and true role is unknown, but he can definitely travel between worlds and knows more about the Cosmere than most other characters. He is, according to the glossary of the third novel of Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy, "A mystery yet to be solved." It is pretty much confirmed he was there at the shattering of Adonalsium as well, which means he must be thousands of years old. Brandon has confirmed that Hoid uses Shadesmar, an alternate plane of reality also called the cognitive realm, to travel from world to world, and that he has some way of both slowing down time and living longer than a normal human should. He will play a major role in the Stormlight archives, and many more hints were dropped down in the second book.
