    Depends. In LOTR, I'd agree. In Arthurian legend and close copies, it's less clear.

    The particular case that made me think of it is an Arthur-to-Avalon knockoff where death seems to be strongly implied, namely:

    Spoiler: Series of novels
    Show
    The story Ciri tells Galahad at the end of the Witcher novels.


    Or to dig into the "Beyond the Rim" example I had in mind:

    Spoiler: TV series
    Show
    One the one hand, it seems likely Sheridan's consciousness will continue. On the other hand, he's mourned as if he's dead, his departure is proposed as required by his (otherwise?) inevitable death, and in a flashfoward Delenn later speaks of him in the past tense.
