It seemed at first in the Judging Eye that he was going to be headed in the generational direction, i.e. the old characters were now more scenery and plot points than characters, but he zigged on us, going back to almost ALL the old characters AS characters. The only ones of the Old Guard left though is Achamian, and, if you count her, Esmenet. Gotta have some new blood, or at the very least, some new POVs of TAE characters in the No-God. No matter what, though, very much looking forward to the end of the world.
