Live Reading Sparks Reveal Debate
- Brandon Sanderson read the short story "The Traveler" at JordanCon 2018 and later decided it was too spoilery for immediate release.
- The hosts perform parts of the story and quote key lines to illustrate Hoid's interaction with an old friend.
Hoid And Frost Identified Through Dialogue
- The travellers identity is clear: the hosts identify the Traveller as Hoid based on language and behavior in the piece.
- They link the older man to Frost using repeated phrases and physical description hints like metallic-rimmed pupils.
Setting Suggests Yolen Or Cognitive Space
- The white trees and skeletal limbs in the scene point to Yolen as the likely setting or influence for the encounter.
- The hosts debate whether the meeting is on physical Yolen or in a cognitive/mental projection of that world.
