@@TheDustyWheel yup, they've brought it back on occasion, but that's very rare. I've seen them 3 times and they havnt played it. There's a list of rarities that I still need to see live like kid a, go to sleep, sail to the moon, subterranean homesick alien, and motion picture soundtrack. Seeing radiohead live is like a collectable card game as you never know what you'll get! But they're amazing.
On my first two read-throughs, up to KoD publishing, I just assumed his death was somehow related to Moiraine's and Lanfear's disappearance. But on my third read-through, right before TGS published, I read a Graendal POV in TPOD where she mentions almost running into Ashaman while snooping around Sammael's place after he died. My head went completely quiet, and I was like, ohhhhhhhhhhhh... she ran into Asmo after Rahvin died...
