practically speaking you're correct. But this is a fantasy novel with a pro-protagonist tone LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 01/03/2012 04:24:38 PM
It would entirely jar the mood and the reader's expectations (in a bad way). RJ would be completely reversing the general direction his book series has taken in regards to who dies, wins and lives. That's not a good idea at all and it's not fair to one's readers. I'm not saying no one will die, hell, even a major character may die...but for it to be one of the central characters would be implausible given how RJ has written up until this point.

So who thinks Elayne will die in aMoL? mogi67 - 29/02/2012 04:02:07 AM 2332 Views
Given the various Foretellings and Min Viewings the only way Elayne can die darius_sedai - 29/02/2012 05:48:50 AM 1428 Views
Dying in childbirth would be totally lame Zeratul - 29/02/2012 09:34:47 AM 1425 Views
There is the one vision Min had of Aveinda where she was going to have 4? babies but it was odd *NM* Nolan - 29/02/2012 04:53:46 PM 729 Views
That's nothing to do with Elayne Cannoli - 29/02/2012 05:19:39 PM 1428 Views
Or does it? JasonD - 10/03/2012 06:21:53 PM 1229 Views
She's already gone from Caemlyn at the timeof the attack, at the meeting in Merrilor Cannoli - 29/02/2012 05:29:27 PM 1650 Views
Going to have to agree 100% *NM* Myrdhyn - 29/02/2012 06:42:15 PM 789 Views
I also get the feeling that RJ isn't going to kill off any main characters LadyLorraine - 29/02/2012 10:44:29 PM 1239 Views

is there any chance that the broken crown could refer to Manethrean? (sp?) LadyLorraine - 05/03/2012 02:10:17 AM 1387 Views
Perrin bringing Manthrean back seems unlikely Jim - 05/03/2012 04:28:57 PM 1343 Views

Agreed. For all we know the baby image could be Lan meeting the oath taken for him by raising darius_sedai - 09/03/2012 01:23:06 PM 1231 Views

I didn't know Naelson was a Darkfriend, or Tylin either. What about Jaim? Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:45:57 AM 1581 Views
they're not main characters either Jim - 02/03/2012 05:58:13 AM 1390 Views
I wouldn't even consider Morgase to be a MAIN character. Evil_Monkey - 02/03/2012 12:28:41 PM 1335 Views
Yes. I am classifying Main Characters as Rand, Egwene, Elayne, Perrin, Mat, Avi, Min and Nynaeve. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/03/2012 05:42:58 PM 1125 Views
Verin is the most significant character to die that I recall darius_sedai - 01/03/2012 04:50:51 PM 1363 Views

And you think she won't hop back to Caemlyn the moment word comes of the attack? *NM* fionwe1987 - 01/03/2012 03:22:11 AM 716 Views
No, she won't be able to weave the gateway and Rand won't let anyone make her one. *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:48:06 AM 868 Views
The smartass answer: Birgitte. But, despite all seeming evidence, I don't know why anyone would. *NM* Palatine - 01/03/2012 04:36:22 PM 867 Views
Hope or think? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/03/2012 06:30:58 PM 718 Views
Oh God I hope she does *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:48:46 AM 960 Views
i don't think she will....just hoping. *NM* moridin15 - 04/03/2012 09:55:06 AM 892 Views
