I think we might be at our first potential chapter break here. Feels as good as time as any for a break in narrative. Either a forward shift in time, or a scene shift to other characters.

A dangling Belkar might be a cliffhanger - but I don't see why a chapter break is appropriate here. I don't really know what events will come next, but a natural point would imo be the arrival at Tinkertown (which I think will take some time).

Have you fought of potential round breakups for Book 5? I have done so myself, and I have a hard time to break them in small chunks. I would probably do something like this:

1. (673-698) Desert shenanigans
2. (699-709) Team Evil
3. (710-774) Empire of Blood
4. (775-822) Arena
5. (823-833) Team Evil
6. (834-898) Girard's pyramid
7. (899-936) Advanced Escaping
8. (937-946) Epilogue

ups, seems that I hit post reply instead of preview :/

Anyway I wanted to add some thoughts to it: I think the Team Evil/Epilogue splits are pretty easy. But I have a real hard time to split the other parts. I really think they are too long (though The Battle of Azure City was pretty long, too), but I just can't find a spot I'm really satisfied with.
