I think everyone's addressed the first question. As to what happened to the LWs after they (SPOILER)defeated Chaos , here's what I think: (SPOILER)If you read the 'epilogue,' it basically says that after the LWs defeat Chaos, they get zapped back to an alternate version of the present where none of the adventure ever happened except in the stories and legends of the Dwarves, Elves, and Dragons (even though there's supposedly no way they could possibly know about it). Kind of like the end of "The Butterfly Effect," where the two main characters pass each other on the street and she doesn't recognize him even though they knew each other in the previous four timelines.
