Was this really the Assail we were looking for?

One important difference between the FA in tCG and Assails is, well, tCG. Could it be, perhaps, that the reason the FA in tCG were so powerful and kinda nuts is because they were poisoned by trying to symphony power from/prolonged exposure to part of him?

More likely they were going nuts for trying to unveil their warren ( sealed ) with so many of them. Those are blood rituals and we know for a fact that for a jaghut or a Tiste to fully unveil their warren needs tons of blood ( even dying ) or hugh numbers, like in black coral with all the Andii working togheter ( Kallor also explained it )

The hive on Assail was probably a big one, as to how they gave that sword of bones to Jhetiss, well its probably something they did with their magic, if they can force you into their will, why can't they force just a part of you?
Lets not forget that the FA nearly exterminated the K'chains and nobody ever told us were the rest of them were living. I don't think 10-20 of them can manage such a feat so its pretty clear that their number is bigger than we saw in TCG
