Any predictions about where the Hotah/Balon/Obara/Darkstar plot is going? I feel like it’s one of the few Winds plots where I’m completely stumped. Who lives? Who dies? Is Dawn introduced? Any thoughts?

I think the purpose of that whole plot is to get a POV to Starfall in order to hash out the Tower of Joy/Ashara, Dawn, and/or R+L=J. 

In terms of who dies, I’m thinking Hotah kills Darkstar, but takes a poisoned wound in the process. And I think there’s a revelation that Myrcella’s wound was poisoned.
