From what I recall, Cadderly's faith wasn't exactly in question after the first two books anyway. Why put him through that agony and torture for no reason?I also remember a story about some deity asking his own son to sacrifice his life for the betterment of humanity. But I think we are dancing around the "no religion" rule here anyway. Let's just say I think it would have been more compelling if Cadderly had been sent to an early grave in order to create the cathedral of Deneir. His reward for his faith would been a special place at Deneir's side in the afterlife. But I guess handwaving away any cost of raising a gigantic building out of the ground from bare rock is pretty entertaining too.Imaginative does not have to mean nonsensical. I enjoy Salvatore's action sequences as much as the next guy, but they sometimes get unnecessarily complicated.  Well I wouldn't have had a problem if they had gone to Cadderly's magical "House of Deneir where nothing could possibly go wrong" and he had regenerated the missing parts of their anatomy and resurrected Wulfgar. But instead Bruenor and Regis seemed to gain the ability to spontaneously regenerate. Maybe they are distant relatives of Wolverine? Ooohh I know! Maybe Wolverine should fight Drizzt!!!! And then Darth Maul can show up with some ninja Sith and things can really get interesting!111!!!!!! And maybe that fight can be described in an obtuse and over-extended manner!!!Alright, I'm done with the sarcasm. It is a poor substitute for wit anyway.(And I actually really do like Wolvie, Drizzt and Darth Maul FTR. They just tend to be the fanboy's wet dream is all.)</blockquote>
