next in an ongoing series of polls, everything else should be obvious

[Leoman]

I almost cried when Coltaine died *sniff*

[Folken]

Felisin. As I've said time and time again, by the far the most emotional death I've "gone" through in a novel.

[Qorten]

"I almost cried when Coltaine died *sniff*"

I had the same with Whiskeyjack. When Coltaine died however I felt more angry than sad.

[Trotts]

tough to really narrow it down, but i chose itkovian. he was such a good person, and he died for his compassion, it was sweet but full of sorrow for me.

whiskeyjacks death hit me pretty hard a little later, when i read the part about how everyone had to keep an eye on mallet, because he kept trying to kill himself

brys' death was also quite sad, and coltaine was so desperate.


i also though harllo (gruntle and stonny's friend) was very traumatic because it was such a true expression of friendship, but since he wasent a major char i understand his lacking from this poll

[Blind]

Felisin's death is perhaps the most tragic; I was also moved by Itkovian's end, and also Brukhalian.

Coltaine's death was quite a shock, but I felt like crying when I thought Duiker was dead.

[caladanbrood]

I always think that Itkovian's death is one of the best moments in all the books:)

[Rich the Great]

Baudin's death by far for myself. True symbol of duty and courage there, dying to protect someone who hates him and wants to kill him. Touched me that did.

[kettle]

I'm doing a re-read of the books atm and just finished MoI, and I was crying at the end again, Whiskeyjacks death was tragic, as he was a much loved character, but for me it has to be Itkovians death that is the most tragic, and then when all the T'lan Imass honour him at his funeral, followed by whats left of the two armys, well it brings tears to my eyes again....

[Tenaka Khan]

Coltaine. Had me blinking away tears, sniff... It is not only his death though, but the whole scene at the walls of Aren.

[Trotts]

ya, when tehol got beaten up i honestly couldnt believe it. i just refused, in my head i was like, tahts not tehol, or he has some secret ace up his sleeve, he cannot die

[Brys Beddict]

Itkovian takes it. Trying to ease the pain of others ends up killing him. Nearly brought a tear to my eye.

[Abyss]

Something about Felisin snapping out of Dryjha's spell, recognizing her sister, and then promptly being kebab'd by Tavore really speaks of tragedy to me.

Sure, the others are tragic in various ways, but they were all soldiers or wizards engaged in battles of some sort. Felisin, at that moment, was really more of a victim.

- Abyss, prefers Homerian tragedies to Oedipian. Yes, those are words.

[garden_rake]

without exagerrating i was continually stunned at how erikson took us through these deaths. i freely admit to being completely unaware of everything else while reading those pages and am unashamed to say a couple of (very manly ) tears fell with whiskeyjack, itkovian and especially coltaine. coltaine just edges it for me like people have said for the tragedy of betrayal and the courage of sacrifice shown....... im going to start again in a minute

*goes off for a bit of a whinge*

@abyss - man those sticker ideas are fan-bloody-tastic you really should get to manufacturing them! love the tiste edur got it made in the shade - genius
