By the time of the [[War of Reckoning]], Hoid had carried his Trailman's flute for an exceptionally long time. He referred to the flute using femalefeminine pronouns and mentioned that he did not use it as often as he should, even worrying that he would forget how to play it, even though he never could.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
 
[[Kaladin]]'s first meeting with Hoid occured after he investigated music he was surprised to hear coming from the [[Shattered Plains]], where Hoid (as Wit) had set up a campfire next to the chasms. Kaladin mentioned being drawn to the sound of the flute and that its pitch was lower than others he had heard.{{book ref|sa1|57}} Hoid bantered with Kaladin in his usual cryptic manner before using the flute to tell the story of the [[Uvara]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{book ref|sa1|57}} Kaladin was transfixed by Hoid's virtuosic playing and storytelling. After the story was finished, Hoid gave the flute to Kaladin, emphasizing that he should learn how to play it and eventually master it. Hoid also mentioned his "apprentice" [[Sigzil]] being promoted, implying that the flute may have a connection to Hoid's status as a [[Worldsinger]].{{book ref|sa1|57}}
