Mika asked this question about Warbreaker:

Hoid looked up, smiling. "I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn't know who he was, You Majesty. It was a distant place where two lands meet and gods have died. But that is unimportant." Is this the same Hoid in The Stormlight Archive series? Is he referencing the world from The Way of Kings?

Sarah This is the same Hoid. :-) Sanderson has confirmed that all the Hoids in his books are the same person, and that eventually we'll get a Hoid book show…moreThis is the same Hoid. :-) Sanderson has confirmed that all the Hoids in his books are the same person, and that eventually we'll get a Hoid book showing who he really is, and what he's really up to.

You can apparently see Hoid in all the Cosmere novels (I have so far spotted him in seven, I believe, at least one per series), though some of the appearances are VERY brief.

He may be referencing Roshar (Way of Kings). Or not. Hoid is mysterious like that.(less)
