i assumed that Hood became the god of death as some sort of "armistice agreement" at the end of the war, like, 'well, ok, death is inevitable & it will continue, but I'LL take control of it from now on.' maybe him becoming Death allowed there to be an afterlife or something like that.

I don't know whether I should thank you or wish that you die painfully minutes of seeing this.

rather than yell YOU SONOFABITCH--my initial reaction--i'll just cool down and say, nifty. i was hoping this would be addressed, even if in a small way. it is such a weird & wonderful idea to throw out there (a war against death?!?! and now post-Hood life/death) that I assumed it had to get some more screen time. i'm guessing it ties in a decent amt w/all the stuff that the one group w/Hedge in RG see/do. But man did I get lost in there. I remember the cubs, and that's about it.

It seems there's an awful lot in dragnipur and yet it was doubtful for a while until Anomander did his business with pure darkness, whether or not the risk would have worked...despite having...ALL the dead that have ever died come along with Hood, there was some hazard that even then Chaos would win...perhaps thats what Hood is wondering about....

otherwise it could be to do with his musings in TCG I remember near the end Hood is wandering about and coming to terms with being mortal and vulnerable again...to have been death itself for so long, escaped it and all, to come back and have to contend with mortality...well...perhaps he was reconsidering that....and of course that fact that if him and Anomander succeeded that's an awful lot of ass holes going to be released...no God to tend the dead...No badass weilding a sword filled with tossers....so perhaps he reconsidered due to that....

or perhaps it was humour XD

It's possible that only Hood, the general who convinced the Jaghut to form an army to march against Death itself, was the only person who could convince the hordes within Dragnipur that fighting Chaos was even possible, let alone desirable. For me, I can't see that there would have been any outcome other than defeat for the army, whoever was in there -- it was merely a strategy to whittle down the numbers who would be released. But to do that, they needed to be convinced to fight an unbeatable foe, and for that, they needed Hood.
