How we checked
Every fate on this page was searched in the books themselves, the Ace hardcovers, using Google Books' search inside the book, and each answer gives the page it was found on. Fan wikis helped us find the right chapter; they are not the source. Where the searchable text did not settle a character's fate, we left that character off rather than guess. Spot something wrong? Tell us on the corrections page.
