Brandon Sanderson / Re: <WoK spoiler>Mysterious Death mentioned in Brandon's Stormblessed.com interview

We really don't have much we can speculate on as far as Shallan's father's death is concerned. It's notable that his Soulcaster was found inside the interior breast pocket of his coat, and that it was sheared through. Anything that's sharp enough and with enough force behind it might be capable of cutting through the soulcaster, but the only other times we see the word "shear" used in this book is with the shardblades. It's possible that it fell on top of him when materializing after his death and cut through the coat he was wearing. Another point people keep seem to be skipping, a Shardblade can leave a bloody corpse because a slash after death will cut through the person's now dead flesh. It just means that someone would have to be attacking wildly with it.
And I found the thread that somehow left me with the impression that Gaz was still alive, but now that I've looked at it again, I could have been misinterpreting it.

People in the book ask what happened to Gaz a couple of times after he disappeared, so it's supposed to be something that sticks out.Gaz might be the mysterious death/disappearance mentioned in the interview.
Tvlakv didn't stay at the warcamps after he sold his slaves. In a series like this, I expect a lot of people will show up again later.
