Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind
Alexander cut a swath through countries, taking control quickly but not reinforcing his power. Alexander had to return to his previously "conquered" lands to put down rebellions because the puppet leaders he put in charge were already resisting his control. After his death, his generals spent the rest of their life not just fighting each other, but fighting uprisings and more importantly doing everything possible to justify their right to rule as leader and their right to rule that land.
Had he not died so early, Alexander would have been seen as a failed conqueror.
