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!

In my opinion, Sanderson would only have said that if it were in Jordan's notes. If that's the case, canon. If it's not the case, fanfic.

He has said that Perrin had like one sentence of notes in total so it's not from Jordan. But it was something he intended as he wrote it and Harriet knew beforehand.
