At the end of The Way of Kings Sadeas says to Dalinar after betraying him, "Ironically, your death may have been what finally united them," referring to the highprinces. Later, Sadeas' death plays a role in uniting the highprinces, making for an ironic reversal of his cynical claim.
At the end of Wind and Truth Dalinar dies and tricks Taravangian into becoming Retribution. This act unites (in purpose, at least) the other gods to finally act against Odium/Retribution.
Sadeas was more wrong than he was right, but none the less it feels prophetic that it ultimately WAS Dalinar's death that united them, he just had the wrong "Them."
Did anyone else note this correlation? Do you think it was intentional or coincidental?
