Difference between revisions of "Letters"

 

Three additional letters were written to Hoid (two using one of his aliases, Cephandrius), in response to messages similar to that presented in the first letter. The responses vary, though they are generally dismissive or apathetic toward Hoid's plea.

 

The first of these letters is written by Endowment{{wob ref|8401}}{{ref|text=By process of elimination, Endowment is the only known, living Shard who fits with the context of the letter.}} and offers a dismissal much like Frost's. It notably expresses a disdain for multiple Shards sharing a planet, referencing an oath that they made not to settle near one another. Endowment ultimately argues that Rayse's activity is none of Hoid's business, and that Odium will be dealt with if they feel the need arises.{{epigraph ref|sa3|33}}

The second letter is written by an avatar of Autonomy and mentions [[First of the Sun]].{{wob ref|9081}}{{wob ref|8606}} As things stand, Autonomy dismisses Hoid's concern, believing Rayse to be captive, and even offers some admiration for the trapped Shard. The author refers to itself in a plural sense and suggests that Hoid may have found more favor if he had approached some other avatar. The letter is closed with a challenge by which Hoid may earn the Shard's respect.{{epigraph ref|sa3|42}}

-->|Second ''Oathbringer'' Letter

The third letter is written by [[Sazed]], the vessel of [[Harmony]], evident in the writing patterns, the reference to two diametrically opposed Shards, and his relative ignorance regarding Adonalsium. While Harmony does not dispute Hoid's claims, he feels unequiped and expresses a hesitancy to offer any support before he is able to place any trust in the man, of whom he knows nothing about. He requests that Hoid visit him directly before taking any action of his own.{{epigraph ref|sa3|53}}
