That actually makes sense. A city that’s in a great location, with extant water supply, plenty of destroyed houses that can be either restored or their stones repurposed… it’s a perfect site to resetlle. Also, the majority of the civilian population of the city would have survived the war. It only makes sense that they’d want to rebuild as much as they could.
