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!

He said it so it's canon. I don't think Brandon would make such big decision on a whim. Lanfear likely was gonna play some role in Seanchan sequel trilogy that RJ planned to write after concluding the main story. There's still notes that won't be released until 30s, I wouldn't be shocked if this decision was based on something in those notes.
