Yep. This seems to be the emerging concensus. No quarrel betweeen Kallyr and Broyan - they were close, former teacher anbd pupil, and had fought together previously. While the siege will have leadership & credibility struggles aplenty - they're Heortlings after all, and WW is in a sense a microcosm of Dragon Pass - these will be between followers, and between other leadership contenders/visionaries/wackos, who we will have to nominate of create from scratch.
In terms of the raw numbers, I still think that Kallyr's exit after that 'summer of heroes' in 1620 seems to have marked a seachange in terms of the number of Sartarite volunteers arriving and perhaps an acceptance in the city that defeat was inevitable. Your comments put this all into perspective.
