=== True Desolation (Roshar) ===
▲It is possible that this is the time period in which Hoid gained hundreds of Breaths to achieve at least the Second Heightening and perfect pitch. Hoid also learned to play a game of Awakened cards, winning repeatedly after fixing the games. However, he eventually lost after betting all on his own victory before he was forced into a tie. This event would serve as a lesson to Hoid later in life.{{cite}} At some point he also met Vasher who knew him as Dust, as well as Vivenna, although it is unknown if they met on Nalthis.

Around mid-1170 when Hoid mentioned to Helaran that he was traveling westward, Helaran asked him to deliver a message to Lin Davar. Helaran wished Lin to know that he had eyes near to Lin that were watching him.
[[File:Under_the_Jella_Trees_by_Marie_Seeberger.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Shallan]] and Hoid's meeting at the fair by [[Coppermind:Artists/Marie_Seeberger|Marie Seeberger]]]]
Hoid came to the Middlefest fair in rural Jah Keved and met with Lin Davar in his box.{{book ref|sa2|45}} As they began to speak, Hoid was shocked to catch sight of Shallan Davar, as he was likely able to detect her nascent spren bond. Hoid slipped metal shavings into his own drink before talking to Lin Davar, making use of emotionally Allomancy to manipulate the man. When Shallan entered her carriage to speak with Wikim, Hoid climbed a nearby jella tree and waited for her to exit. When she came out, he revealed himself to her, expressing surprise that he had found her. Shallan asked for news of Helaran, and Hoid told her that he was busy doing things he found important and shared the contents of Helaran's message with her. Hoid asked her if spren spoke to her, but Shallan denied it, refusing to think of the memories she had chosen to forget. Hoid then told her a parable of two blind men, asking her if beauty can ever be taken from a man completely. Shallan replied that she did not believe so, and Hoid asked her to imagine the most beautiful thing she could in exchange for knowledge of Helaran's whereabouts. As Shallan explained her dream of a happy family, she almost began to Lightweave an illusion with Stormlight from Hoid's spheres, but stopped before she could. Hoid realized that she was not yet ready and encouraged her in her struggle to keep her family together. Before Hoid left, he told her Heleran was currently in Alethkar and that he would bring word of Shallan to him if he got the chance.
He also had become the King's Wit of [[Alethkar]] by around the middle of the year 1173.{{book ref|sa1|12}} He lived in the Alethi warcamps on the Shattered Plains, insulting the Alethi nobility in the stead of the king. While as Wit, Hoid would often vanish without explanation for a time before returning, but Elhokar's fondness for Hoid's sense of humor prevented Hoid from being replaced as Wit.{{book ref|sa1|58}} Hoid became very familiar with the Kholin family, Adolin came to like him, whereas Dalinar and Renarin were less certain.{{book ref|sa1|12}} Highprince Sadeas loathed Wit and desired to kill him.{{book ref|sa1|15}} Hoid commonly attended the feasts of the nobility, including one where he seriously insulted Highprince [[Roion]] A week later, Hoid accompanied Elhokar Kholin and his family on a chasmfiend hunt on the Plains themselves, mocking Dalinar's sons until Dalinar put a stop to it and Hoid moved on to talk to others.{{book ref|sa1|12}} After the disastrous fight with the chasmfiend, Hoid had something to do, but he then met with Elhokar again, along with the other Kholins and Sadeas.{{book ref|sa1|15}} Wit insulted Sadeas repeatedly, daring him to kill him before Sadeas stormed away. Wit left the Plains riding at the head of the party with Elhokar.

A few weeks later at another of Elhokar's feasts, Hoid stole a stool from one of the lighteyed artist competitions and set himself up near the bridge to the king's feasting island, insulting each of the people who came by.{{book ref|sa1|22}} When Dalinar came by, Hoid warned him that there were rumors about Dalinar being spread about, including that Dalinar had mentioned abandoning the Vengeance Pact. As Dalinar left, Navani approached the island and she and Wit exchanged friendly insults.
Hoid became suspicious that Dalinar Kholin was a member of a secret society
Hoid left the Plains, traveling to the Alethi capital of Kholinar,{{book ref|sa1|epilogue}} perhaps making use of his foresight. When he arrived there, he sat on a pile of boxes just inside the gate. His odd behavior drew the attention of some of the Kholinar guard, who spoke with him for a time about the most valuable attribute a man could have. Hoid dismissed all their answers, explaining that timeliness was the most valued, as anything produced second was inevitably seen as derivative. The gate was suddenly attacked by an unknown assailant who cut his way in with a Shardblade. The Herald Talenel entered the city, warning that a new Desolation had come, before collapsing. After the man collapsed, Hoid pondered quietly to himself that he feated the Herald himself had arrived too late.

When Waxillium Ladrian walked up the path to Kelsina's mansion to attend a [[Kelesina Shores' party|party]] with [[Wayne]], [[MeLaan]], [[Steris Harms]] and [[Marasi Colms]], Hoid climbed out of the bushes, startling Wax.{{book ref|mb6|11}} Wanting to reveal Kelsier's resurrection and identity as the Sovereign,{{wob ref|1727}} Hoid looked for an opportunity to pass on the unsealed metalmind. He asked Wax for a few clips.{{book ref|mb6|11}} Steris noticed Hoid's cologne and asked him if he was wearing cologne. Hoid was startled by her observation and claimed that he had been drinking perfume, as it had quite a kick. Steris told him that that was unhealthy and Wax advised Hoid that he should leave the private grounds. Hoid agreed but claimed that it was his property and again asked for coins. Wax gave him a banknote and told him again to leave the grounds. Hoid claimed it was far too much and that he wished to give Waxillium change. As Wax walked away, Hoid threw the coin at Wax's head, who caught it in midair. A groundsman then noticed Hoid and tried to chase him off. Hoid laughed and escaped back into the bushes again. Hoid believes he is getting away with something here, and this time period is perhaps when Hoid is the happiest.{{wob ref|1745}}(Phrase this better)

== Relationships ==
=== Kelsier ===
Hoid initially met Kelsier in the disguise of an informant, so at first their relationship was of little import during Kelsier's life. Hoid was frustrated that Kelsier had destroyed the perpendicularity at the Pits of Hathsin, making his life harder. Their relationship became more relevant when Hoid encountered the Shadow of Kelsier trapped in the Well of Ascension. This meeting was the start of history of antagonism between the two men. Hoid and Kelsier have contrasting personalities and both have strong egos, meaning they often find themselves at odds.
