Think Endest survives.

And SonOfDarkness is correct, there was speculation that Rake could return, Apsalaras gift to him, his soul being returned to KG(in shreds) where it could someday perhaps find it's way to MD, and the fact that Death isn't so permanent in Eriksons work. Also speculation about him becoming a God at the end...Etc.

[Khellendros]

In all seriousness:

Crippled God
Kallor
Skinner
The K'Chain Matron (Acyl?)
Icarium





....will all die I'm also constantly surprised by how many people think Fiddler and Corabb are going to survive. If anyone's ripe for a classic SE tragic death, it's those two. Especially Corabb. Imagine, his luck switching just when he believes he can do whatever stupidly heroic thing he's trying to do. And Fiddler's will probably be the most heartbreaking death of all.

Paran
Nimander
Toc (in one form or another)
One person from Fiddler's squad (to tell the tale and all). I'm going with [tosses many-sided coin] Tarr.
Crokus

...will all live to the end.

[tsr]

1. Paran.
2. Iskar Jarak - Whiskyjack - If you don't see this coming then reread the last chapter of TtH.
3. Fiddler & Hedge (Death to Life to Re-Ascended?)
4. Quick Ben (Will Ascend)
5. Bottle & Nil (Can they count as one? This will be a happy ending.. no pun intended)

[foolio]

I hope Balm and Capt Kindly survive. They are my favorites...They will probably be killed however.

I think
Kallor
Crippled God
Korbollo Dom
Quick Ben
Shadowthrone
will live
Oh yeah I forgot Corab Ben Thulas, I think he will make it.

wait...what???
when did WJ become the Iskar Jarak(the iron prophet?)???
where is this mentioned??
I'm confused....

[beru]

the brige to the frozen time is burning and he is a mezla leading a army...
and in tth its stated outright by hood and toc

[Mr.James]

yeah i knew he was a mezla and a BB, but the WJ bit is new to me....I forgot alot of TTH....I read it as soon as it came out and have since re-read the entire series up to RG so TTH is a bit hazy to me (doesn't help that I spaced through most of it.....those kruppe ravings were too much!!)

Anyway...thanks beru!!

[beru]

np my brother always asks me qestions of all sorts of things so unnessesary details stic

That was golden haha

As for my list:

1) My main man Ganoes Paran obviously.

2) Fiddler.

3) I hope Picker.

4) Grub is definitely a survivor.

5) Kalam and Quick Ben count as one since they're gonna pull a kansas city shuffle on errybody, hello new shadowthrone and patron of assassins. bong.

[Mrjaco12]

Hedge (Not Fid. It's going to be like George without Fred Weasley )
Chaur and Barathol (They were citizens of the empire)
Apsalar
Ganoes Paran
Honorary Malazan inductees (and my favorite): Tehol Beddict and Bugg

[Daser]

SE always kill those i like best, so characaters i dont really like that much will surely survive. Topping that list is.

G. Paran
Tayschrenn
Korbolo Dom
Adjunkt Tavore Paran
Apsalar

[Tarcil]

You guys do know that Erikson reads these threads...

and you know he's a bastard to Favourite Characters...

Please don't give him IDEAS!!!


P.S.

Grub
Tehol and his siamese twin Bugg
Paran
Mallick Rel (hate it, but I think he will)
Bottle and NETHER (not Nil idiot!)

I think Shadowthrone and Cotillion will go out with a bang in the final showdown.
Kinda hope Rake lives he was the definition of cool.

[Trull's son]

Crokus and Apsalar die in tragic fashion.
I am fairly sure that all the bonehunters will be wiped out.
No soldier will stand a chance, when the dust setles on Assail, i doubt there will be malazans around. Ascendants aside, the only malazans i see living are those away from the final convergeance. soo...

Picker

[The Swordbearer]

Ya gotta know the last Battle will be Ragnarok like in scope.
#1 Pust and his Wife not so happy of an ending, but still bound to happen. LOL
The Other 4
#2 Random Char #26. No then how about Tehol Beddict.
#3 Silverfox.
#4 Krupp. He is the slithery Eel after all.
#5 Kallor.

If only five people are going to survive, then with most of the selections on this list, the chances of re population are looking bleak...

My five would be:

~ Ganoes Paran
~ Laseen (although from reading I feel like I might be missing something, because there are people on here who normally like betting on the outsiders, and I haven't seen her name mentioned yet)
~ Ormulgen (so he can paint a half red, half black, picture of the final destructive battle)
~ Crump (If memory serves me right he is one of the seeming many High Marshals of the Mott Irregulars, the one who blew a bloody enormous hole in Y'Ghatan)
~ Kalam's Cousin, Ba... (The name escapes me. The Aren guy.)

Also, ST and Cotillion, but I think they are givens.

I hope Apsalar doesn't survive, seeing as she clearly doesn't want to. Same for Cutter.
