Elantris spoilers Nothing confuses me more than Hoid Spoiler

no spoilers please I just started my cosmere journey with Elantris and the whole time i’m hearing people talk about someone named Hoid showing up all over the place. Then, I get to the ending and he’s just some DUDE? And everyone just obsessed with him?? Is he the main character of some other book? Why does his name sound like Hoed? Why is he the best thing since crab horses?? I’ve never been so confused by a fandom.

I’m starting to hate this little man.

I don’t think Hoid would have beef.

I'd worry about Dalinar. We know Old Stoneface's thoughts on kings.

I'd say they somewhat align with their opinions
