The Warrior-Prophet / Re: Cnaiur and Fate, After Anwurat

It's not an inclination towards whores, Wilshire. Agnake is refered to as the whore because you don't get anything for free... the implication is that for each turn of good fortune you get a corresponding kick in the balls. Akka constantly refers to this. Prime example, every instance of luck that gets him to Ishual has corresponding horrific turns of bad luck - ultimately he gets there but its completely ruined.
PoN is far more circumspect in attributing any real agency to the gods - there are only mild hints - like this instance with Cnauir, Inrau's possible intervention etc. That doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Re; Gilgaol. Remember the gods experience time differently. Preserving Cnaiur at that point may be important for some later objective that is important to Gilgoal. Perhaps ensuring certain important characters fall in battle due to Cnaiur's latter presence/influence, or something else - who knows what the gods want? It's only speculation.
But I do agree with locke that that scene is positively dripping with portentiousness.
