Okay, so I’m reading bands of mourning, and there’s this really weird scene with a beggar named Hoid who huffs perfume. However, there’s also a coachman named Hoid in shadows of self.

They can’t be the same person because the guards who chase perfume Hoid away seem to know him, so he must live around there. Also, New Seran is way too far away for coachman Hoid to go there and back. So, is this a mistake? Is Hoid just a common name on Scadrial?
