Lunatic rant

RJ has actually killed off at least a couple of mid-major characters (Ingtar, Mangin, Bornhald, Niall), and one who could easily be called major (Moraine)

About Moraine, there has been much forshadowing (mostly by Min) that she isn't really dead. At one point Min even questions if there is something wrong with her ability saying that the only viewing that had ever failed was where Rand would not win the last battle without the help of a woman who is "dead and gone". While some think this is a clear indication that she will be back that is not necessary for the story. Perhaps the last battle is one by The Dark One and the Wheel is broken. Remember this is called the "3rd age" by some. No one can really say which time around this 3rd/4th age is. Maybe this is the time it gets broken.

RJ hasn't really shown an inclination to kill anyone but bad guys in his previous works.  And since this series seems to be his Epic Fantasy written from the stereotype (genre), I think that he would have continued along in that vein.  Since Epic Fantasy was mainly about escapism, the ultimate cost of death really isn't satisfying.

That said, Visions and prophesies have already alluded to Rand surviving.  Min had a vision in which he and The Dragon would split.  Rand took that to mean that he was not insane, that the voice in his head was real.  Along with most of the other Visions, and Reaves' take about the Christ symbolism; I would think that Rand survives and Lews Therin Telamon (who wants to die), sacrifices himself for the good of all mankind.  Or something like that. ;D

***SPOILER****









Elayne is already pregnant with Rand's babies......

Moraine has to live, Min had a viewing. Rand has to die, but to live he must die. Who knows what that means. Personally I just can't wait to RAFO!!

Just to help kill any discussion about there not being a religion in WoT

RJ pretty clearly states that there is only one and it is not gone to in great depth because the characters in the store relate to their deity in everyday life.
