It would also be interesting to see how it will affect Nynaeve's character if Lan dies.
There was a Q&A on this topic:
So, apparently Nynaeve would eventually get over Lan's death. However, such a scene could be pretty heart-breaking, also in the context of RJ's own death and Harriet's grief. We will see.
There was a Q&A on this topic:
Sanne-Liandra: You said time after time that Lan will die if Nynaeve dies. What about her? She's Aes Sedai, so she will live very long. And he's much older than her anyway. Would she be able to live without him??
RJ: Lan is undergoing the severing effect of his bond to Moiraine which means that he has lost the desire and will to live which is being restored to him by Nynaeve on top of which he loves her. If she dies he really really has no reason to stick around. As for Nynaeve, and Lan dying, women are always a lot tougher, emotionally, then man are. Nynaeve will cry for a very long time when Lan dies and she will go on living.

We're (almost) definitely seeing Lan or Malkier in ToM

Maybe Nynaeve will at least temporarily join Lan's army in ToM. *NM*
