End of era 3

[bmcclure7]

Based on the information that we have so far, I would like to propose this theory. I admit my evidence is a little thin but hear me out. I believe that the end of error 3 will parallel front half storm light.

1. Victory for the south.  the southerns  will conquer most, but not all of the they’ll make some sort treaty with the remnant of independent states, promising peace. This will parallel the victory for the singers in Stormlight.This would explain why the southerners, appear to be the dominant force. And seem to be synonymous with the planet as a whole, as far as outsiders, are concerned. 

2. The transformation of Harmony into discord. This will parallel the ascension of retribution. This has been foreshadowed a lot already.
 

3. Civil War and major defeat for the ghost bloods. This has already been forshadow in stormlight and in LM. And if we continue with the idea of the parallel the knight’s radiance suffered a major defeat and reduction in power as a result of the end of Stormlight. I think the ghost bloods will suffer a similar fate. 
 

4. Era 4 will focus on an alliance between the ghost bloods and the Knights. Against there separate enemies. Who are also fighting each other.

Possible, but from IotE, we know that at least one radiant is acting as a Rosharan representative, suggesting that the Knights Radiant won't be permanently weakened or the underdogs.

Remember that a good portion of knight radiance already worked for retribution. Given that this was a sky breaker or at least seem to be it’s safe to assume that he worked for a retribution. I suspect that retribution will continue controlling most of Roshar until era 4

We know that a Skybreaker is acting as a Rosharan representative. Skybreakers have allied with Odium before and I don't think anyone expects that to change with Retribution. I don't think it's currently possible to infer anything about the fate of Roshar in Arc 2
