Basis of my Theory Stormlight Five update a month or two ago about Brandon Sanderson telling us that the Death Rattles from Way of Kings have to do with what happens in Stormlight Archive Chapter 57 Way of Kings Death Rattle: ”I hold the suckling child in my hands, a knife at his throat, and know that all who live wish me to let the blade slip. Spill its blood upon the ground, over my hands, and with it gain us further breath to draw.” After reading you could also it could be Elhokar’s (I didn’t spell that right) child. But why is this the battle? After the Death Rattles it makes it seem like some of them are one person at the end of the world, Dalinar fighting Odium’s champion! More Of these kinds of death rattles help support that this could be Dalinar’s death rattle. Chapter 60 Way of Kings Death Rattle ”The death is my life, the strength becomes my weakness, the journey has ended.” Chapter 3 Way of King Death Rattle ”A man stood on a cliffside and watched as his homeland fall into dust. The waters surged beneath, so far beneath. And he heard a child crying. They were own tears.” In the Stormlight Five Update mentioned earlier Brandon showed concept art that shows Kaladin and Szeth standing above on a cliff. Brandon mentioned this had to with Stormlight Five also Chapter 52 Way of Kings Death Rattle ”I’m standing over the body of a brother. I’m weeping. Is that his blood or mine? What have we done?” Chapter 57 Way of Kings Death Rattle ”Re-Shephir, the Midnight Mother, giving birth abominations with her essence so dark, so terrible, so consuming. She is here! She watches me die!” I hope this convinces you
