Duxredux Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) This is a slight tangent from the original question, but ten years is a decent time gap between books. Let's see what ages people would be at approximately: Kaladin: 32 Rosharan, 35 Cosmere Standard Navani: 65 R, 72 C Shallan: 29 R, 32 C Dalinar: 65 R, 72 C Szeth: 47 R, 52 C Adolin: 35 R, 39 C Renarin: 31 R, 34 C Jasnah: 46 R, 51 C Lift: 25 R, 28 C 10 R Gavinor: 15 R, 17 C Oroden: 12-13 R, 13-14 C Taln: old Ash: old Hoid: different old than really old boots There's a lot that can happen in that time frame, and for those ages. Jasnah and Szeth are about the right age for a midlife crisis, Kaladin could be married with a midsize family, Lift would be older than Kaladin is now if she wasn't 10. Something pretty much has to put Dalinar and Kaladin out of the spotlight, as they have a way of dominating scenes even when they aren't the viewpoint, but there's plenty of ways for characters to simply leave the spotlight or pass on normally. SA 5 will be climatic, so it's pretty much guaranteed that will be losses on screen that will hurt, but I kind of hope some people get to sit out the battle after this. In essence, Brandon doesn't need to kill a character in SA 5 for them to not be present in SA 6-10. Navani could totally retire or just die from old age (Mistborn spoilers) Spoiler I mean, look at The Lost Metal preview chapters. Stuff happens.
