Especially considering what BS said and the title & blurb of ToM, it seems ToM will be at least as dark as TGS, possibly darker, and more military. Lan's death and a defeat of his army would fit with that, I think.
If it is well written, Lan's death and the reactions of not only Nynaeve but basically the whole main cast of characters (e.g. Rand or Moiraine), could create a most powerful and heart-wrenching scene. And IMO such casualties would make the threat of the Shadow for the Westlands and the main characters more palpable before the last act in AMoL.

Well I don't think it was too big of a scene or RJ would have written it I think.

You say that as if RJ was able to write all the scenes he wanted to before he died.

I can resist the urge. It's basically just a survey after all.

Lan's death and Nynaeve's reaction would fit "heart-wrenching", Cadsuane's not so much for most *NM*
