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.

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 1306 Views

Hmm, Lan's death? Etzel - 27/07/2010 08:09:25 AM 1158 Views
sure, why not. my only problem is... Deadsy - 27/07/2010 08:58:06 AM 1153 Views
I hope you are right. Seriana Sedai - 27/07/2010 09:19:44 AM 1168 Views
I don't think he will die Deadsy - 27/07/2010 11:07:27 AM 1195 Views
I think if Lan dies... Etzel - 27/07/2010 09:45:05 AM 1220 Views
I was thinking Cadsuane *NM* Sidious - 27/07/2010 10:46:26 AM 525 Views
Also possible, of course Etzel - 27/07/2010 10:58:34 AM 1139 Views
I don't consider it foreshadowing Deadsy - 27/07/2010 11:15:37 AM 1052 Views
Hmm, I doubt it... Etzel - 27/07/2010 11:25:57 AM 1077 Views
Re: Hmm, I doubt it... DomA - 28/07/2010 12:47:33 AM 1107 Views
Either Lan or Rand, I guess. *NM* Etzel - 28/07/2010 08:02:37 AM 517 Views
Or... DomA - 31/07/2010 02:59:22 AM 1045 Views
It sounds a bit early for Lan's death DomA - 28/07/2010 12:25:47 AM 1271 Views
Oh, I like this. Sareitha Sedai - 28/07/2010 01:35:48 AM 1203 Views
I do too. Elaine - 28/07/2010 01:43:12 PM 1059 Views
Perhaps, too early, yes... Etzel - 28/07/2010 07:57:34 AM 1062 Views

The death of Elayne? Or Min? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/07/2010 02:47:11 PM 1166 Views
The problem with this idea is... Etzel - 27/07/2010 04:26:33 PM 1133 Views
rand's fake death. from a POV that thinks he died for real *NM* nigelgoboom - 27/07/2010 07:07:00 PM 602 Views
this is what i was just thinking *NM* Deadsy - 27/07/2010 10:27:12 PM 508 Views
My bets are on Rand's actual death Terez - 30/07/2010 07:40:06 AM 1097 Views
I can resist the urge. It's basically just a survey after all. *NM* Etzel - 30/07/2010 07:46:52 AM 526 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 487 Views
Certainly Etzel - 29/07/2010 05:34:11 PM 1038 Views
