    They Veth are very alien, to them human beings are lesser animals, only slightly above Kyle's species. It is heavily inferred that they did what they do to the Pleasanto's to Humanity

    The fall of the Holy City did not sound like a triumph. To Darien Haskal, the Warlord of the Vanguard, the moment the heavy bronze-banded gates of Jerusalem splintered and gave way under the relentless battering of Ser Lloyd’s shock troops, the world simply ceased to make a sound. It was an abrupt, catastrophic sensory severance. One moment, the air was a deafening, physical pressure—the roaring of thirty thousand Crusader throats, the shrieking of tearing timber, the chaotic, metallic cla

    The next book is Ishan's journey from this point. The Sisters were all about deceit and trickery. So it is all explained in more detail in that book. @Seraph28 asked me to write about Ishan from this point onwards, and I liked the idea a lot. So I ran with it. He and Ibelin have their own journey to take that diverges from the Vanguard.

    good, except to be clear Wylan was very specific in the text when he no longer feels Ishan is alive. The text is also explicit, they are carrying a body.

    Oh the BIG IE is probably very aware of them, and they are effeminately on his list.

    The nest was suffocatingly warm, a humid incubator built from scavenged survival gear and misplaced devotion. The bioluminescent flora that Kyle had so proudly arranged pulsed with a soft, rhythmic glow, casting the metallic confines of the cargo bay in deep, bruised shades of violet and oceanic blue. The light rose and fell like the slow, steady heartbeat of some massive, sleeping leviathan, catching the edges of the heavy Veth cargo netting and the synthetic weaves of the stolen Wayfarer's Res

    Indeed, but if the door holds back monsters, and you open that door... you will always feel responsible. Wylan has a lot of work to do yet.

    Wylan has not lost his magic, he is getting stronger with it. His magic seems to react to his emotions, as we saw with the earthquake in Antioch... the fog in Nicea, and now here in Jerusalem. Of all the mages in these books, on a raw strength basis, he is the strongest. Ishan the most well trained... the Witches were dangerous because they work in a coven/Triad. Morwenna who is in the next book, is corruption and needs a holy relic to even match Wylan. So no, the magic is not done, it just exhausts the user and is very difficult to maintain. Ishan was burnt out after Antioch,and severely weakened. Then his fight with the witches in the last chapter exhausted him, and severely weakened them. This allowed Wylan to kick their asses in this chapter.

    Darien is about to face the true horror of what he has done. His plan, his supplies, his equipment, his timber for the siege equipment. His siege that weakened Jerusalem. At the end of the day, Darien knows, he did this. Without him, the Crusade would never have gotten inside. That is a guilt I would never wish on anyone's head.

    He did it, the first Lord of the Crusade inside the walls of Jerusalem. Will he ever be able to forgive himself?
  21. Topher Lydon
    The siege of Jerusalem did not begin with a trumpet blast; it began with the world tearing itself in half. Darien Haskal stood at the outermost perimeter of the Vanguard’s line; his dark green eyes locked on the northern battlements. He was not resting. He was a coiled spring of iron and muscle, standing so incredibly still he might have been carved from the same ancient limestone as the city walls. His massive arms were crossed over his plated mail-clad chest that felt as though it were be

    After Julian's knighthood and promotion to Darien's second in command, Ashot was the logical person to step up for this mission. He's grown up a lot in this book, he's gotten closer to Stephen, earned his place, and is determined. Given his own fears of what would happen if the Tafurs got their hands on him, he understands how important it is to reach Ishan before the city falls.
