I think if Lan dies... Etzel Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 09:45:05 AM
His death was foreshadowed through the series, and we know that the Shadowspawn armies will most likely attack in ToM according to the blurb. Min even had a Viewing of Nynaeve "kneeling over someone's corpse in a posture of grief" in TGS. It would also nicely allude to the title "Towers of Midnight" if the last "King of the Seven Towers of Malkier" dies alongside his fellow Malkieri in a stand against the Shadow. Finally, I think it fits in a bittersweet way that at the time when Moiraine returns from the dead, her former Warder dies, so that they won't ever see again.


The corpse viewing seemed too obvious for it to be Lan. Everyone who read that would immediately think of him.


It anyway won't be a big surprise, because it was such heavily foreshadowed for him, and it makes sense for his character in a way. If this happens it's also only consequent that Min has a Viewing about it, because it naturally will have utter importance for Nynaeve's life. It would be strange, if Min never saw Lan's death. Though by stating that Nynaeve is kneeling over "someone's corpse" is still left open in the Viewing, and others have suggested that the corpse might be Rand or someone else.

Yeah, I saw that. Gher - 27/07/2010 04:03:34 AM 1018 Views
Well I don't think it was too big of a scene or RJ would have written it I think. RabidWombat - 27/07/2010 04:11:01 AM 864 Views

You say that as if RJ was able to write all the scenes he wanted to before he died. Terez - 31/07/2010 02:08:51 AM 585 Views

Hmm, Lan's death? Etzel - 27/07/2010 08:09:25 AM 753 Views
sure, why not. my only problem is... Deadsy - 27/07/2010 08:58:06 AM 730 Views
I hope you are right. Seriana Sedai - 27/07/2010 09:19:44 AM 754 Views
I don't think he will die Deadsy - 27/07/2010 11:07:27 AM 761 Views
I think if Lan dies... Etzel - 27/07/2010 09:45:05 AM 750 Views
I was thinking Cadsuane *NM* Sidious - 27/07/2010 10:46:26 AM 336 Views
Also possible, of course Etzel - 27/07/2010 10:58:34 AM 726 Views
I don't consider it foreshadowing Deadsy - 27/07/2010 11:15:37 AM 644 Views
Hmm, I doubt it... Etzel - 27/07/2010 11:25:57 AM 669 Views
Re: Hmm, I doubt it... DomA - 28/07/2010 12:47:33 AM 673 Views
Either Lan or Rand, I guess. *NM* Etzel - 28/07/2010 08:02:37 AM 317 Views
Or... DomA - 31/07/2010 02:59:22 AM 642 Views
It sounds a bit early for Lan's death DomA - 28/07/2010 12:25:47 AM 853 Views
Oh, I like this. Sareitha Sedai - 28/07/2010 01:35:48 AM 703 Views
I do too. Elaine - 28/07/2010 01:43:12 PM 635 Views
Perhaps, too early, yes... Etzel - 28/07/2010 07:57:34 AM 643 Views

The death of Elayne? Or Min? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/07/2010 02:47:11 PM 737 Views

rand's fake death. from a POV that thinks he died for real *NM* nigelgoboom - 27/07/2010 07:07:00 PM 347 Views
this is what i was just thinking *NM* Deadsy - 27/07/2010 10:27:12 PM 302 Views
My bets are on Rand's actual death Terez - 30/07/2010 07:40:06 AM 683 Views
I can resist the urge. It's basically just a survey after all. *NM* Etzel - 30/07/2010 07:46:52 AM 332 Views
Lan's death and Nynaeve's reaction would fit "heart-wrenching", Cadsuane's not so much for most *NM* darius_sedai - 29/07/2010 03:50:34 PM 291 Views
Certainly Etzel - 29/07/2010 05:34:11 PM 641 Views
