Wit's voice: When you beat an iron sword relentlessly, it hardens. When you leave it alone, it rusts away. Let me tell you a story.

The party, camera panning around the revellers. We see spren floating around, we see Jasnah looking disapproving and Dalinar dead drunk, but only briefly. We see a flash of White as the Assassin stalks down a corridor. Two guards notice him and charge. The Assassin bursts into light. Cut to Szeth by the dead body of the King, kneeling.
"I'm sorry."
=o=o=o=o=o=
"We came here for Vengeance, but all I see if frivolity and competition."
Dalinar from behind, looking over the Shattered Plains and the arrayed warcamps.Adolin averts his eyes. Sadeas snorts.
"Why can't you just relax? Why can't you be just like everyone else?"
"I cannot be like everyone else."
Sadeas leaves, laughing. "That honor of yours is going to get you killed some day."

Voiceover: There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives, and those who take lives.
A young Kal, working in the surgery with his father: "What about those who kill to protect?"
A battlefield on a rocky landscape, from the eyes of Cenn. Kaladin leading them into battle. The Shardbearer.
White flash, cut to Kaladin shivering in a cage.
Kaladin looks up to see Syl floating over, a tiny translucent girl. Her light shines on his face.
Her voice: Why do men cry?
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o
Shallan's voice: “Expectation wasn't just about what people expected of you. It was about what you expected of yourself.”
Shallan clutching a sketchbook, following Jasnah. Her eyes are fixed on the Soulcaster. She is smiling, cut to her in her room alone scheming and drawing plans.
A cryptic voice: Let go of your lies.
(fade to black) (pause)
(bass drop)
Szeth lashing himself to the ceiling, running towards two Shardbearers. His Blade appears in his hands.
Dalinar sitting alone in a tent, screaming and writhing.
Kaladin on a bridge run, screaming as blood trickles down his shoulders and arrows kill those around him
Shallan in a room in a pool of blood.
(fade to black) (pause)
Words against A black screen as music builds to a crescendo.
Speak again the Ancient oaths.
"Life before Death."
Lightning illuminates Kaladin before the Honor Chasm, tears mingling with rain.
"Strength before Weakness."
Dalinar charging at the Chasmfiend in full Shardplate to protect Elhokar
"Journey before Destination."
Shallan turning from a ship and running back to Khabaranth.
(pause)
"The Knights Radiant shall rise again." Music climaxes
A shot of Szeth running among people, lashing them left and right.
A shot of Shallan entering Shadesmar.
A shot of Dalinar and Adolin surrounded on the Tower, shouting their final battlecries.
A shot of Kaladin's boots thumping on the bridge, clearing the chasm onto the awaiting Parshendi. Syl screaming "Speak the Words!"

Wit's voice, chattily: “Can you feel it? Something just changed. I believe that’s the sound the world makes when it pisses itself.”
I know I am way late to this thread, but I have to say that this is so epic! I personally love trailers and when I read this I could see it, hear it in my mind.
Seriously, I got chills, that’s how awesome I think this is.
