Hoids Original Story for Kaladin

[Farre]

MAJOR SPOILER DISCUSSION
Can we view Hoids orginal story regarding the Uvara and their dead emperor as a metaphor for the Knights Radiant and Honor? Meaning, the Knights Radiant discovered Humans were, in fact, the Voidbringers and that Tanavast was dead (and Honor splintered), thus their war against the Singers unjustified and immoral? They were, as the Uvara were, the true perpetrators of the murders they enacted and they could no longer pin it on the “greater good” (Honor and Cultivation's will)?

If so, another example of Hoid, as always, knowing all the going ons of the Cosmere.

Hi, I've moved this topic to Cosmere Discussion; Arcanum Discussion is for discussion of the website.

I haven’t thought of that interpretation of this story before, but it seems to fit a little. However the fact that humans were the original Voidbringers was only one of several reasons that lead to Recreance. Earlier Radiants did know that as well, but Honor was always there to assure them their actions are just. Another big reason was fear of destroying Roshar with their Surgebinding powers, just like their ancestors did on Ashyn - this doesn't fit Hoid's story about Uvara.
