I've been thinking. I wonder if Fandaniel will be saved and convinced to join the Scions.
Thus far, it's been pretty sad that literally not one single Ascian has been saved thus far.
- Lahabrea: his grief drove him to become detached and insane, permakilled by Thordan.
- Nabriales: was permakilled by the Scions.
- Igeyorhm: permakilled by the WoL.
- Emmerololth: permakilled by Sharlayans.
- Emet-Selch: was a best friend of Azem, went mad with grief. Permakilled by the WoL and Scions.
- Elidibus: was a student of Azem, idolized him, and then was permakilled by the WoL, who he did not recgonize as his idol.
(technically Lohgrif is a sundered soul of a Convocation member who has survived, but it's not like she is burdened with traumatic memories of the final days and the loss of their home like the other uplifted and unsundered Ascians are, so she doesn't really count)
It's also sad how Alphinaud tried to convince Emet-Selch to join the Scions, only for Emet-Selch to reject it, too caught up in his self-pity and resentment to try to reach out for happiness.
I'm guessing Fandaniel is going to be revealed to have gone mad with grief as well, and can't bear the pain anymore, and doesn't want to reincarnate. But rather than just impaling himself onto the Crystal Tower, perhaps he somewhat resentful and wants to spite the rest of the world. The key thing is... Fandaniel hasn't actually killed anyone yet. The most he's done is torch a garden, which was mean but not super evil*. So maybe he'll be saved.
It'd just be really sad if none of the people who remember the Final Days survive, leaving the WoL has the sole living survivor of the Convocation and only knowing part of their story. Guess it'd feel like a really bitter message; "if you remember your home being destroyed, you'll be overcome with so much grief, you will become a genocidal maniac with no hope of being able to move on and find happiness again, and you will have to be killed." Oh, and you'll be forgotten too, because despite the WoL promising Emet that he would try to preserve the memory of their existence so far the WoL has... pretty much told people jack all, not even like writing a book to be put in a library or something.
There is also the "Zenos is Hythlodaeus" theory, which might be true, but Zenos is a mass murderer and there is no way the WoL/Scions would extend a hand to him. He's going to go.
I'll be fine if Fandaniel just remains the joker. I just think that this is going to be the last time we get an opportunity to save/redeem an Ascian and we've never done it before.
