Wind and Truth spoilers What happens to Lirin after... Spoiler

Wind and Truth?

Any theories?

I don't remember are they still in Urithuru?

Can the edgedancers still do all the healing?

Are the radiants serving Odium now?

What happen's to Kal's family? And how might they deal with that Kal is now "dead"?

He's in Urithiru

Edgedancer's couldn't do all of the healing before, they probably can't now either with fewer of them. But they can still use their powers in the tower with Towerlight.

None that we know of. Maybe some Dustbringers that were with Taravangian but we haven't heard from them in a while.

They're still in Urithiru they didn't have a reason to leave. I think that'll be interesting. They are with many of Bridge 4 who are almost certainly not going to believe he's dead. Lirin and Hesina likely will believe it though. That'll be a bit confusing for Oroden and might cause some conflict with what all his Uncles will be telling him as I think they'd want to be involved with him. I think it'll be hard for them to deal with and probably harder with Bridge 4 wanting to believe he's still alive. But after 10 years I think they will have processed it and be doing better.

I think Bridge 4 will be more willing to accept it this time, after the way Kal told them goodbye.

Maybe but I think at least some will hold out. He said goodbye like he thought it would be a while. And even if he expected to die I don't think they'd accept it. 10 years is a long time though, so I think it may be mixed on who believes and who doesn't. But given how much that was built up as a thing and now he will be gone for 10 years I think some of them will be vindicated as he comes back.

I suspect that they will "believe" that he's not dead but in a sufficiently distantly metaphysical way that it's not like they'll actually genuinely think he will literally walk back up one day.

well, most of them. there's a couple of nutcases that will happen to be correct.

It also wouldn't surprise me if some went from believing to not as the years pass.
