I finished a reread of /Five Hundred Years After/ this morning, and Paarfi
mentions this precise subject at the very end of chapter 34:

	"... even the awful destruction and suffering ... cannot detract
from the honor Sethra Lavode deserves from us all.  Similarly, that today
she has vanished from sight, perhaps for all time, does not detract from the
honor"
- pg 535 of the paperback

	"Sethra had only managed to bring Aliera's body; Aliera's
life-essence, or soul, was ripped from her body in the maelstrom of elder
sorcery which was even then beginning to cascade through the city, and her
soul found its way no on knew where.  Indeed, Sethra herself thought for
many years that it had never escaped the fall, but had been destroyed along
with so many others.  It is not impossible that the belief that she had
failed accounts for Sethra's vanishing from human intercourse, if, indeed,
she has not met her fate in some awful battle or tragic mischance."
- pg 537
