Good read, and it is deffinately a point that many people argue over and discuss quite regularly. But something a lot of people seem to leave out was Logans intentions.

When he pulled out from where they were to face Kralkatorrik they were only in preperations and had no idea when exactly the dragon was to arrive. Logan had previously sworn himself to his queen, not just by her magical bond but in himself basically swore and oath that defending his queen was his priority, Whats more is that this priority wasn't exactly a ''secret'' from the other members of DE.. the queen promised him that she would only call if she was in dire need, because she understood what he was doing.

All this under consideration it would appear that what Logan was thinking was the right thing, As far as he (or anybody else) knew the dragon was at that time attacking Ebonhawke (and his queen). so he jumped at defending her, thinking that he was to face the dragon.

I can deffinately see how this has effected the others, and how it ultimately sealed Snaffs fate, and their failure against the dragon. but again, they didn't know exactly when he was to arrive and to Logans credit he was only doing what he felt was right. because he believed the dragon was attacking his queen (the one he swore an oath to)

Also on the subject of how they may come back together i think Caithe will play more of a part than most think. Though Eir is has already shown to be trying to mend bridges i think once Caithe brings her sense of thinking and logic mack in to the mix she will help clear them up. Though i don't think any one single member will be the sole cause of them coming together again i see Caithe being quite a pivitol point in it, seeing as she has always come across as the ''glue'' that holds them together in rough times.

About the people who says that the queen could have gotten out of this without logan actually being summoned i disagree. Ebonhawke was under attack, the asura gate was gone... we don't have any idea if there was a way out but most likely not. if you want to blame someone for not getting the queen out of there sooner we must blame logan's brother. then the queen summoned logan, did she really need him... i think most likely yes. Logan's arrival and him banding the charr prisoners to slow down the crystal monsters is very important in my opinion. The reason is that what the queen actually did was pretty amazing. making everyone believe that the dragon is back and also that the resistance transformed into his minions, even logan was confused and thought he was transformed. this is vastly different from simply making a clone, this needs to take time. i don't think the queen would have taken her time while the others die. now another scenario is that the queen die but they defeat krakaltorrik, is it better... well logan might have left DE and the human's without the queen might have chosen a more aggressive approach compared to trying to unify the races.
so to conclude i kinda like how it is right now excluding snaff's death. i want to face krakaltorrik and defeat him :P
