I think you mean Mizora, not Minthara, but yeah, that's what I meant about "questions and fears". Personally I can freely be delusional (or maybe justified, who knows) in believing that my Tav (and perhaps friends later coming to help) can take Zariel down and all that, but it's also completely understandable that being told multiple times that a powerful archdevil will be coming for her relentlessly does not exactly instill confidence.

Wither's datamined lines do seem to imply that the default state of that ending is supposed to be "Karlach and whoever went with her are freaking decimating Zariel's forces and grow stronger for it", but they're not in the game, so. We'll see what actually makes it into the objective canon eventually.
