Lore & Background

At the end of The Way of Kings, Hoid is in Kholinar when the Herald Taln breaks through the city gates to warn that the Everstorm is coming; Hoid declares that the warning has come too late. In Rhythm of War, Taravangian takes up the power of Odium and fools Wit into thinking Odium is still Rayse, and Wit is revealed to be a being called Cephandrius, as old as the first gods of the Cosmere.
