What struck me about the Crippled God in this final volume though was what seems like a sudden and huge personality change. In the previous books he seemed to be the closest thing to pure evil that this series has. It's his hand behind many horrendous plots such as the Letherii ruler (Rhulad? something like that) who's forever getting resurrected until Karsa kills him for good. Yet in this final volume the Crippled God is suddenly a sympathetic character and Tavore and others are working to free him. What happened? What changed? Why is this god now worth fighting for?
For that matter, as the whole thing seems to have been orchestrated by Shadowthrone and Cotillion... what was their end goal? Did they somehow know or guess what the elder god would do in an attempt to wipe out the warrens by using the otataral dragon? Was all of it to find a way to stop the dragon from destroying the magic of the warrens?
