: I won't disagree with your argument since you put it so
: well and with so much to back it up. You actually made
: me feel like something of an ignoramus. Anyway, I
: won't argue with you, but I can understand where an
: assumption about the deaths of the fallen lords can
: come from. Their title alone, "the Fallen
: Lords", while possibly meaning a sort of
: spiritual or moral falling, is most quickly associated
: with death (especially when you're talking about war).
: While evidence is thin that they died, it's easy to
: assume that "fallen" refers to physical
: death. Also, they could be considered deceased by
: association. With such massive legions of the walking
: dead, it's easy to imagine these less than attractive
: generals also having spent a few years in the cold
: earth. I personally hold to the opinion (not proven
: fact) that they are dead and hope someone can provide
: a good argument to back this. I know I can't.

Your wish is my command!
Bungie prerelease publicity info refers to them as "ressurrected" sorceror-generals. But then a lot changed since prerelease - originally, EVERYTHING Dark was undead. "The land belonging in turn to men, and to the undead" spake the prologue. The M2 epilogue, OTOH, changed it to "in turn to men, and to monsters". So, yeah, take either approach with a grain of salt - but you would have been right in 96-97. :-)
