The epigraphs are phrased as a letter, and are best read and understood all at once. For convenience in reading they are reproduced here.
== The First Letter ==
The [[The Way of Kings/Epigraphs#The_Letter|epigraphs]] to Part 2 of [[The Way of Kings]] form the first letter. Hints in the second letter point to it being written by [[Hoid]].
You, however, have never been a force for equilibrium. You tow chaos behind you like a corpse dragged by one leg through the snow. Please, hearken to my plea. Leave that place and join me in my oath of nonintervention. The cosmere itself may depend upon our restraint.|The Second Letter}}
== Speculation ==
{{theory}}
Many believe the author of the first of these letters is [[Hoid]]. An excellent argument in favor of this point has been posted {{17s|76|on the forums}}.
It is confirmed that we "may have read that Hoid has specific beef with Rayse." Given that the Letter is the only writing that mentions anyone specifically having a grudge against Rayse, this can be seen as an acknowledgement that Hoid wrote the Letter.{{17s ref|3099|post|50695|text=Hoid has a specific beef against Rayse.|date=2013-03-15}}
In Words of Radiance, a group of epigraphs seem to reply to this letter, indicating that the original writer had taken on a name that describes one of his "presumed virtues". This could be inferred to mean his "wit", which would serve to re-enforce the theory that Wit (known to be Hoid) was the author of the oiginal Letter. {{epigraph ref|wor|60}}
