I was wondering how Adonalsium was a shard when people were calling them 'shards of adonalsium'. Makes sense Brandon wouldn't clear it all up in one sentence.
Mind giving me a refresher on a voice talking to Lightsong?

Before his return in "Heaven" he hears a voice give him a command....which is why he gives up his breath (I haven't read it in sometime someone please confirm)

Kaz basically has it right. It's the point near the very end, where Llarimar tells him Lightsong's true past. Then, in the next scene, Lightsong flashes back to the time when he actually died. A "Voice" speaks to him, and tells him to Return.
By the way, that Shard's name is confirmed to be called "Endowment", KhyEllie. Good to have you here.

KhyEllie-
One quick thing- Afraid that Slowswift isn't Hoid. He's actually based off of 'Grandpa Tolkein'. Hoid is the whistling beggar that Vin gets spooked off by. (Brandon said this in the HoA thread)

Whistling? I thought he was humming...
I can confirm that I've read the same thing about Slowswift = Tolkien though.

Yup, I definitely remember that as well. Of course, that's because on the MB3 spoiler thread I made the misconception Slowswift was Hoid, and Brandon corrected me. The wound still stings  A small bit of solace comes from not being the only one who made the mistake, I suppose. |

So have I read hints on this board that Hoid took a bead of Lerasium from the Well site before Elend did, if so I want to see Mistborn Hoid out flying around sometime. Or do we think that he has some other use for the Lerasium?

I'm inclined to believe they took it as a souvenir rather than to use.

Well, isn't Lerasium a piece of Preservations body, just as Atium is a piece of Ruin? Maybe he's gathering shards of the shards of Adonalsium... |

Now I am stuck with the idea that Hoid is gong around to beef up his shard souvenir collection(read like stamp collection). So he now has a super rare piece of Leras right before Leras died. |

Here's my theory on Hoid.  I shall assume Adonalsium was sentient. For all intents and purposes, let's compare it to a crystal. A sentient, magical crystal. When Adonalsium was "broken" into shards, however that may have happened, the sentience of the crystal was not. It carried through to each shard, and on each planet the shard is on, the sentience of the crystal manifests itself in the civilizations. These manifestations are Hoid. Poke holes in as you will.  |

Raphael -
I like the whole sentient idea. But I think it would be cool if Hoid somehow "knew" Adonalsium or of it's power or something of the like. And he's planet hopping trying to put it all together to have magnificent awesomeness ensue.
Kind of like Kagome and Inuyasha searching for Shards of the Shikon Jewel, perhaps?

So there's supposedly a super evil shard in WoK, and I remember reading once (I think) that the shards all kind of oppose each other, like Ruin/Preservation. (Confirmation on that note?)
After reading Brandon's summary of WoK's back story, and how the Voidbringers are trying to pull men into Damnation, I'm wondering if Damnation is the name of the super evil shard in WoK (since it's all capitalized and all). It seems to fit the mold for shards (Ruin, Preservation, Endowment, Damnation), and I can totally see there being an opposing shard called Salvation.
Thoughts?
Also, if that dual shard theory is legit, what would be the shard opposing Endowment?
