In Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor the player has the possibility to "brand" enemies (Uruks, captains, war chiefs, caragors and even graugs). By doing so, those enemies will not attack you and when you get into a fight with other, non-branded, enemies your followers will fight along your side.

My question is, for how long do uruks and caragors stay branded? Sometimes when I leave a region where I have branded 20+ units, and I arrive back there later on, I often only have two remaining followers. This is quite annoying, because you can't "build an army". Is there any time limit on how long units stay branded? Or did they simply die while I was gone?
