What kind of bloodlust the people must have felt to destroy themselves entirely within 8 days. The only person who wasn’t fully poisoned among the two armies was Coriantumr – who actually wrote to ask Shiz to stop the fight. That isn’t to say that Coriantumr was righteous, just that he had a spark of humanity left, which might explain how he survived to the end.
How terrible it must have been for they to observe that final well and the final outcome. Hopefully he didn’t live long with the result.
