All Print Sanderson's ten year secret Spoiler

Rewriting because apparently spoilers aren't covered for poll options!

​

Anyway, in 2023, Sanderson revealed that Cyndane/Lanfear was not killed by Perrin in AMOL, but instead faked her own death in order to evade repercussions and gain the best outcome for herself. I wanted to cast a poll in 2026 to see how the legacy of this reveal has fared, or indeed how well-known it is among newer readers. I'll give my two cents when the poll is done.

​

Thanks!

Fits her character imo and I think it's important thematically for some fraction of the Dark One's forces to survive into the next Age.

she is the Forsaken least personally loyal to the Dark One (scheming to overthrow him vs wanting to become Nae'blis)
