     He doesn’t know yet. He’s still trying to figure this stuff out.

   Ah, Ian. Closure from the dead is problematic, isn’t it… We the readers got far more closure; we got to see Belisarius go down HARD. At the same time, it’s clear that however satisfying his death is to us, it doesn’t undo any of the harm he’s done in his world. That is left to the living; the real work still lies ahead, a lifetime and more of it.

   I wonder how many people (?) died when things went wrong for Bellisarius? And where? Potentially, his entire army – although that seems unlikely. And the remainder of the Amund-Lanc army? Could they take back their city?

   Hmm. Lots of possibilities – I like that in a story.

     You won’t see what’s left of the Amon-Lanc army retake this city any time soon. They’ve got their own problems. http://requiem.spiderforest.com/?p=2174

       I remembered that. However, if the conquering horde is fried, crippled or confused they certainly have a shot at it. The time span hasn’t been that long and – if they can get out of their fortification – they’d be fighting on terrain they know exceedingly well. Unlikely, but so was the battle of Cannae. Just a thought.
