I completed the game yesterday afternoon, and I have a question about the ending. The Divine One shoots the Sword Of Lies into the crevice, but isn't that moot? The Lord Of Chaos had already jumped into the baby, so the sword would just be a regular sword, wouldn't it?

Now my main question is this. The Divine One takes out a dagger and it looks like the baby is going to be stabbed with it, and then the screen blackens. Later, you can see Zandalor and Ahru standing on a hill in the distance while your character walks out from the Dungeon. Does Divine Divinity pull a Diablo, where your character gets corrupted and lets the baby live?

Will any more of this vague ending be explained in Beyond Divinity, or will I have to wait for Divine Divinity 2 to come out(and will it even be the same character, or will it be a new character out to kill the Divine One and save the world?)?

The Sword of Lies still had some power, despite the completion of the ceremony.

The Divine One does not get corrupted, though it is not shown whether or not the possessed baby is killed. That is revealed in Beyond Divinity, which is set 20 years after DD. The UK version of BD contains a novella (written by Rhianna Pratchett) which covers the events between the 2 games (there is a summary in this topic).

Larian has not revealed any of the plot for DD2

I would have never thought that the language of pure image is so hard to understand. We have to think about that in the future...

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ascension "Blessing" cutscene
After you got sacrificed by the council of seven your spirit awakes in a divine realms on an altar. Around you the ideas of the seven gods are manifesting. You can roughly separate impish, human, elven or orcish gods...
Everyone of them grabs into their chest and puts a small part of the heart into your weightless shape. After you received all blessing the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in you is fully developed and so her wings grow and she flies up to the mortal plane where she descends as the reborn hero into the wastelands.

Extro scene
You see the demon of lies dying. In fact you see the mutiliated body of janus ripped into pieces and the leftover, the sword of lies, remains. It comes closer and tries to seduce the hero. The hero is tempted to take it but refuses and sends it back to hell away from the mortal plane.
Then the hero hears the cries of the baby. Knowing that it is the lord of chaos inside the child he/she draws the dagger to kill it. In the hero's moral struggle to kill a neborn innocent child the scene fades out.
Much later you see the hero walk out victorious into the swamp area. He carries something. Loot? The child? You don't know for sure...
Somewhere on a distant hill Arhu and Zandalor watch you coming when suddenly the statue you lifted up in the sky while entering the katacombs of aleroth comes down finally...(side joke, nothing more)
