KaIadin he/him Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) This is a thread for guessing what happens at the death of one of the characters (especially interlude characters). I'll go first: I think Axies the Collector will die at the hands of Nalan or Szeth (due to his constant law breaking), that he will see deathspren and make one last note on his skin.

Kestrel she/her Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Everyone of Bridge 4 will die. Except Kaladin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah. Sylphrena will be corrutupted by an Unmade and Kaladin will get possessed by Odium. Then everyone will die 'cept him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaukan-son-Hasweth he/him Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have a very very strong feeling that dalinar is going to die until the end of book 5. Im also quite shure that one of kaladins parents is already dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 The only thing I know for sure was, that when Jasnah Kholin died I didn't believe a second she would be permanenty gone. The way Sanderson introduced and built the character made it too certain, that her abilities complements the ones of the others in a way that she will be needed for later plot strands. Sorry, Brandon, you phoned it in from 10 miles away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably going to sacrivice himself in the big showdown, or his death by antagonist is one of the main obstacles the heroes have to overcome during the big showdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femme she/her Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think someone very close to Kaladin will die which will test his new acceptance that he's not always responsible for the lives of everyone around him. I think that person will probably be Teft. The father figures always end up dying. Ultimately, in the end, probably Dalinar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think someone very close to Kaladin will die Honestly, with a desolation upon them, probably a lot of people will die, considering that the old reports say, that during a desolation up to 90 % of the population perished.

Sorry, Brandon, you phoned it in from 10 miles away. Rule number one of Sanderson: characters are usually expendable, especially if you like them. Most will not die, but some will. Mistborn spoiler He killed Kaladin, Vin, and Elend I see your point though. Shallan can barely Soulcast, and Jasnah is much more experienced, even if she can't easily do food.

Garfield Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Quit after the first half of the first volume of Mistborn and will certainly not pick it up a second time because I just couldn't stand that female main character. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Horrible Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I imagine there's going to be quite the high death toll for our current viewpoint characters, especially Kaladin and Dalinar. Jasnah will be the one to have a post-mortem flashback book imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxal she/her Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Brandon said we would read the flashback of at least one dead character... So far, the contenders are: Szeth, Eshonai, Jasnah, Taln, Lift, Shalash and Renarin. Since Brandon has also said book 5 would have the most Szeth, I assume he will be alive at that point in time to take an active role within the main narrative, I'd thus remove him from the list. Therefore, according to the current plan, Brandon plans to have at least two of these characters dead by the time their flashbacks occur: Eshonai, Jasnah, Taln, Lift, Shalash, Renarin. I'd say Eshonai is a strong contender. Anyone else, I have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindel he/him Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have a very very strong feeling that dalinar is going to die until the end of book 5. Im also quite shure that one of kaladins parents is already dead. So until the end of Book 5 he'll be dead, but after that he'll undie? Or perhaps you meant his death scene would start in Book 3 and last all the way through until the end of Book 5? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Either way, whoever is doing the killing is extremely inefficient, especially since Dalinar can swear a few more oaths in the second scenario and go all Radiant on them.

DreamEternal Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Plot twist: Dalinar becomes an herald, and expends the next books dying again and again and again in Braize. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invested Beard Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 At least one of Shallan's remaining brothers. Also Teft and/or Amaram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaegar'Elin he/him Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Though he's my favorite character so far, I can totally see Dalinar dying in the first 5 books (hopefully it will be an honorable and memorable death). Unfortunately, the old honorable leader that struggles for keeping the good side unite has great chances of dying in Fantasy Literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haradion Drogon Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I can see Kaladin dying in Book 5.With Odium being released from his imprisonment in the Roshar system to boot.I also can't shake the feeling of Hoid murdering someone for "the greater good". No idea why. Just having Hoid stab a trusted character through the chest, whilst apologising, as we all go: "No! What the *hell!* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Someone is going to become Honor. I don't know who, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Windspren he/him Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Someone is going to become Honor. I don't know who, though. I have a crazy theory that it will be Dalinar, as there's a WoB that Honor and Cultivation were *ahem*, involved, and Dalinar's "dead" wife fits somewhat with Cultivation's description (or at least the Nightwatcher's).

Shaukan-son-Hasweth he/him Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Someone is going to become Honor. I don't know who, though. I don't think that's going to happen. It was done in mistborn and I would be disappointed if Sanderson would do that on every shardworld. I habe the very vage theory that the knights radiant will kill their spren by putting them back together to restore honors mind or something like that.

Humpty he/him Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nalan Herald of Justice will die for real for stealing vashers sword. And hopefully some of the world hopping Meddlers will die as well my vote is for Mraize to be killed by Jasnah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
