I hope, that there won't be new boring characters like the snake kids, because we have SOOOO many great chars, that it would be a shame not to use them, e.g. like Karsa (maybe the most important char of em all!), Kallor (why the return, when not used?), Kruppe (the EEL!!! dammit!) or so. I hope that TCG will play on Genabackis, on Seven Cities AND Letheri, because it would fit very good to the other 9 books to bring ALL threads together in the final book. And if Erikson will reduce the nonsense blablabla of some unimportant corporals to a minimum, there should be enough place to finish all storylines which have appeared in the last books.

I for one really hope TCG ends up being the longest book in the series. A million or so words would be cool.

Yeah, I thought Ganoes/MoD got name-dropped far too often in DoD to not make an appearance in TCG.

So far we have 9 books, and it's 3 per continent:

GotM, MoI, TtH: Genabackis
DG, HoC, tBH: Seven Cities
MT,RG,DoD: Letheri Continent

where does this lead no. 10? Logically, with DoD's cliffhanger ending, it would be Letherii as well, but who does that leave in the cold:

Karsa
Kalam (he's not dead dammit)
Paran (though you'd expect the Master of Deck to have some nifty convenient travelling options)
The Coral Tiste Andii
Felisin the Younger
Kallor (no way can they wrap up Draconus and K'rul's story without him?)
Traveller (although he seems to travel well)
Heboric, Itkovian (Despite being kinda... dead, I got the impression in TtH that Itkovian was fairly bound to a certain location. If so, I'd assume his fellow dead Shield Anvil to be similarly bound)
Cutter
Apsalar
Silverfox and her undead chums
Caladan "I have a big hammer that is very important" Brood

It just doesn't seem feasible that these could all be excluded, nor that they could all get to the Letherii continent.

I'd be interest in trying to get a list of every story thread that neesd to be wrapped up - I'm sure the list above isn't complete! I haven't included everything I thought of, since some stuff (Wickans etc.) seem to be ICE's to deal with now.

How about the last book being part of all three? The main story will be Kolanse, but the side stories will be genebackis and seven cities. Isn't the crippled god spread through the world of wu, why not involve all three continents!!

[MTS]

The Crippled God is on a few other continents too, such as Korel, but we are fairly certain that ICE is the only one that will write about that continent. The Crippled God's 'heart' is supposed to be in Kolanse IIRC so if the Crippled God's charred remains make up the setting, it is likely that our characters will only visit the most important one, where all the action is going down.

Obviously on the place they are now as it's all one book thats been split.

I'll be pissed off if it ends on a fade to black or gets the LOST Ending even though I loved that ending.

Spoilers! It's called book of the fallen for a reason. The Crippled God is really a good guy acting evil to bring them all together so they can find themselves and move on.

[Tattersail_]

well it will have to go back to genebackis or seven cities for a few reasons, the main one being Paran. He was in the first book, he has been influencial in the series, admitting the crippled god into the deck of dragons, and the fact that the elder gods want to wage war with the new gods etc.

[Sinisdar Toste]

i think paran is coming to the story, not the other way round. now that there's an azath on the wastelands, paran could just pop out with the host there, reuniting icarium and gothos just for something to do on the way

[Tattersail_]

I forgot about the Azath on the wastelands!! So this is where you think he'll appear? have you seen the blurby for the crippled god? would you set much store by it?
