The leaders of the Grand Companies ordered the company forces and irregulars to retreat before the big boom. Only the Warriors of Light remained behind; all the others managed to get away.
I'm sure some died from the debris, or from skirmishes with surviving Garlean soldiers, but most made it back alive. Three of my characters fought in the Battle of Cartenau; two irregulars and one soldier in the Immortal Flames. Only my main chara, Aeriyn, remained behind and ended up becoming a Warrior of Light. The other two retreated with the bulk of the army.
