What will happen to the characters?

So far, almost every single character involved in a the main storyline as some kind of company to the player has died before the end. Aledar died in the silent expanse, Axelus died in the molten heights, we don't really know what happened to Lari, and really the only important people who have survived an entire storyline are Tasim, Zeph, Rex, and Sui. I'd throw Yusanu, Yuman, and Yulie in there possibly. Maybe Rurie. But everyone else? Nope. Either they don't really have that much contact with the player, or they straight up died. So what will happen to those select group of characters who have survived Fruma? Will they fade into the background? Will they just stop appearing? What?

 

For the Frumans I wanna say I remember hearing something about how we'll get to see what they do post-apotheosis with wastelands.

For everyone else, it's pure conjecture. Perhaps with dern they'll show us, Tasim, Qira(?), Lari(?), and (probably not because he's probably dead but it would be cool if) Bob(?)

 

Wastelands is side content adjacent to mistwoods/highlands
We might get some stuff of them visiting outside of Fruma
Lari is definitely gonna be important for RoD
