I just started reading The Herald and in it Telamont mentions Hadrhune is dead and he will not resurrect him. I have no idea how he died though. I do not remember him dying in one of the other Sundering novels. I searched the forum here and did a web search and found nothing. Can somebody shed some light on this situation for me?

I don't think his death is mentioned anywhere. He is alive at the end of The Godborn but I think when it's stated that he's dead in The Herald it is a plot device to explain why you won't be seeing any shades who die in that book resurrected.

Maybe an anthology will describe how he dies.

At GenCon last year, Ed was answering questions after the Candlekeep seminar, and revealed that when he was told to write his outline for the Herald, he was told Hadrhune (who was already dead, in canon Realmslore) was alive again, and should specifically be included. So Ed wrote Hadrhune in, only to be told when the first outline was reviewed that Hadrhune was now being killed off before his book, and he should instead confirm in the Herald that Hadrhune was gone and wouldn't be brought back, and otherwise not mention him. So he did that, and it survived through the second outline and into print.
Obviously things changed in the books preceding Ed's, and Ed wasn't told. We do know that Ed had to hand in his final draft of the Herald before he'd seen even first drafts of the preceding two books in the series, and anything more than the first draft of the Paul Kemp Sundering novel.
