spoiler A clue to the end of Stormlight 5

[Mr. Misting he/him]

So, in the most recent episode of Intentionally Blank, Dan and Brandon were talking about D&D stories. While Dan was about to talk about the ending to a campaign Brandon stops him, saying that he is going to use it in Stormlight 5 (Episode 61, 17:30). 

This is very interesting and I doubt we can get much detail on this, but this definitely warrants speculation. Before that we get a lot of information on the campaign and on some of the characters in it. Maybe we can try to figure out what the ending was. We have mention of wild magic, trading predictability for much stronger spells. With the way Dalinar is messing with Honor and Bondsmithing that could mean something. There is other stuff that mentions a "god" how grants magic being resurrected along with a bunch of other people.

None of this probably means anything but there is enough to speculate.

I'll note that the ending did not go as Brandon had wanted it to in the campaign, because the players did not cooperate. By nature of that, I wouldn't base anything off of the random tables Brandon made for Dan's character. What we do have was the circumstances of Dan's character who had been collecting the heads of all of their enemies and due to a randomly fired spell, revived all of the skulls of all of the major enemies that had been killed during the campaign. That may coincide with the Fused or Heralds but... not sure what else.

Maybe... a bunch of people, far more than we expected, will get Fused or Herald level Immortality? Normally I would guess Immortality is something that would get dolled out sparingly, but the Shards on Roshar have given it out before. What if say, all of Kharbranth suddenly became immortal? All of Urithiru? Dalinar attempts to make everyone an immortal demigod? Is there anything that actually prevents this?

I got thinking on an odd tangent.
