Who will survive A Memory of Light and who will not?

 

"I have a million ideas, but, they all point to certain death."  Marvin, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'

 

I guess your list is right, apart from Thom - didn't Moiraine say she knew who her husband would be? I doubt that they'd decide to marry asap when they're out of the Tower of Ghenjei (or it - the marriage - could be one of the horrid conditions for Thom to get out :))

 

But personally, I'd prefer if the following were the last phrase in the series:

 

"I WIN AGAIN, LEWS THERIN!"

 

Rand (dies): It is the most logical end, but I feel he will become the new LTT in the next age, though I do like the mad beggar theory.

 

Just out of curiosity what are you refering to when you say "The mad begger theory?"

 

I think it refers to one of Min's viewings (though I'm not sure where the 'mad' part comes from): "A sword that isn't a sword, a golden crown of laurel leaves, a beggar's staff, you pouring water on sand, a bloody hand and a white-hot iron, three women standing over a funeral bier with you on it, black rock wet with blood"

I can't remember the thread, but Luckers (I think) has a really detailed pre-synopsis of AMoL, based on foretellings, prophecies, Dreams, and logic. Does anyone remember where that was?  Like Luckers, maybe.

If Rand pulls A Muad'dib on us I will flip a lid.

This is probably nothing to do with it, but in Ebou Dar there was a beggar / darkfriend mastermind ringleader known as 'Old Cully' who had a beggar as his persona. Didnt he have a staff?

He did, but of the other sort - a staff of DF's, since he's a ring leader. :) No schtick, only stink - "a gnarled beggar with one eye, no teeth and a habit of bathing only once in the year"
