[[WMG: The Snarl is LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya.]]

Instead, they go to their own afterlife, the planet inside the rifts.

** I kinda get the whole ''[[Film/TheMatrix Animatrix]]'' "Second Renaissance" vibe where, despite being presented as fact, it just sounds too... propagandized, to really seem true. There's probably a good deal of truth, but a lot was exaggerated, and some details omitted.

The Snarl angered by the fact it was formed from the residue of the many panthon of gods when they were creating the planet and imprisoned in their second creation of the world, it decides it could make a better world by its own without having to argue anyone else. The Snarl's world is managed by a pantheon of Canaanite-abrahamic Gods, and the Snarl is the head of this Pantheon and its name is Ēl ʿElyōn. The first God created by the Snarl would be named Yahweh

* As a counterpoint, one of the prequel books shows that the Dark One ascended to godhood ''before'' the gates were made. Unless that's another case of UnreliableNarrator, the Snarl can't have sponsored the Dark One's ascension.

From what we know, the Snarl is basically an extremely powerful mortal. It died after the Gates were created (possibly as a direct result of them), and ascended to godhood. It was the first to have the purple quiddity, and was the one who sanctioned the Dark One's ascension. Since its death, it went from destructive to constructive, explaining both [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0545.html its lack of aggression]] and the planet within the Rift. The main supporting evidence is the number of things that changed in this world's lifetime (it seems like the Order of the Scribble had no idea about the other planet) and how strongly the color purple is linked to the Snarl.

According to Thor, the goblinoids were not specifically created to be an XP fodder race, but he tells the Bearer of the Crimson Mantle this, who in turn likely gives a less secret-revealing version of events to his flock. Unfortunately, because the goblins believe they've been given the short end of the stick in their teachings (moreso than the actual short end of the stick they were given), the belief ends up reinforcing his own narrative, trapping him a vicious cycle where he actually is forced to believe that the goblinoids were created as disposable minions for lower level adventurers to level up with. It's going to take a lot to get him to change his mind, if at all possible, since he probably also instilled into his followers an inherent distrust of the primary gods.

There are three moral alignments in DND 3.5, Good, Neutral and Evil. There are roughly twice as many non-good gods as there are good gods, just as there are twice as many non-neutral gods as there are neutral gods and roughly twice as many non-evil gods as there are evil gods. None of the moral alignments can rely on each other, since outside of rare circumstances, the good gods will oppose the evil gods and vice versa, and the neutral gods will either want to be left alone or pursue their own goals regardless of morality.

* ...By destroying the Azure City gate. Why? Otherwise, Soon Kim and the other ghost-martyrs would have killed Xykon and more importantly ''Redcloak''. Remember that Rat was part of the group that protected and planned on recruiting the Dark One to end the cycle. Even though the Dark One turned on them, as Thor explained, his high priest could still be persuaded to channel enough divine quiddity for them to make the plan work. If Redcloak dies and the Crimson Mantle falls into Sapphire paladin hands, no more high priests. Yes, it means sacrificing Azure City, but you don't give up a chance, however slim - of ending the threat of the Snarl.

Dwarves only represent a small percentage of the total population of Thor's worshippers, so if most people think that Thor's tree-blasting is just a unique quirk, as opposed to the Dwarves' belief that trees are dangerous monsters that Thor is smiting, he's able to avoid the issue that Odin is suffering from.

* It's entirely possible some of them Fell, but we're limited to Redcloak's limited perspective. It would be hidden by them all being in grey-scale for the book already.

** Except how can they benefit from one world's destruction and a new one's creation, if all outsiders' memories are wiped each time it happens? Even if they ''think'' this would work, all it would take to scuttle this idea would be for Loki or Tiamat (or Rat, assuming he's not still too angry to speak to the guy) to tell the Dark One that the IFCC won't even remember him during the interim.
