From what I can understand through the use of his powers he is pretty much going to age rapidly, at least that's and Danica suggest. I haven't read past this series yet (read Drow series about Drizzt, the Icewind Dale Trilogy and now the Cleric Quintet series (finally got around to it (well skipped a head here and there but rereading now)). Anyway after this and in other books, his apperance, how much has it changed?
Is he an old man now due to him using the divine magic or has he not changed as much? Dead or alive? Is Danica still with him? Any children?
Anything you can tell me about what happens to the character would be great. Thanks.

basically at the end of the Cleric Quintet Cadderly is the choosen of Deinir (sp?) and uses his own life-force to rebuild/restore/reconsecrate his church...thus he is weak and old and dieing by the end of the series...he is married to Danica and they have twins (I think they were twins)
but as a gift afterword Denier, in reward for Cadderly's great sacrifice to rebuild the church the god restores Cadderly's vitality and youth |

the kids are in the last book of the Cleris Quintet...The restoration is in the Cadderly's first appearance in the Drizzt series..
But I'm sure Sage or one of the others can give the specifics for those details  |

Yeah, isn't that awesome? Cadderly gets all that power for zero sacrifice. |

The thing was that Cadderly didn't know that he would be rewarded with his renewed youth. It is like returning a wallet filled with hundred dollar bills because it was the right thing to do only to be rewarded by surprise by the owner with a couple of hundred bills.
The test of faith was that Cadderly was willing to sacrifice all he had (His lifeforce, his life with Danica, his time with his children) to his god so that Deneir would be empowered in the land. He expected to die in the attempt and was willing to continue. As a high cleric of the Faith he could do no less.
Denier like any responible Diety was willing to do what he could to reward his worshipper for his sacrifice. People willing to give everything for the cause are rare and should be rewarded.
Just my thoughts. |

My personal opinion, is that if sacrifice is rewarded (at least as directly as it was in Cadderly's case), it's no longer a sacrifice. Cadderly loses his youth, vigor, etc. because of his sacrifice which was meant to please his god. Cadderly's sacrifice pleases his god, so he gets...exactly what he lost (his youth!). So, what exactly was lost here?
Sorry, but I just find that corny. Not trying to start a huge debate or anything, but that's just my feeling on the matter. |

| I agree with Foxhelm, plus what kind of good god would want to see one of his most loyal clerics just up and die lol. I am glad he is still alive. |

This has evolved to a religion discussion, which means that we all must tread lightly as everyone can see the divine in a different way.
I have not read the Novel involving the regeneration, but does it state how the regeneration is gained? Could it be an effect from a secondary quest/mission that Cadderly had to pass? One that might be even harder in his aged state? I think it is vague, so it could be any number of methods.

He didn't need to die, he just didn't need to get all his youth and vitality back. |

I'm inbetween the two opinions here...I think such a selfless and willing sacrifice that was unasked for deserved such a reward but his death would have made the sacrifice (and the hero Cadderly) even greater
but he was dieing...at the end of the last book Danica thinks he won't last the winter...and that is what made him great
(even though [IMHO] I thought the 5th book was totally unnessary and was tacked on only to complete the Quintet)
it was (real) years later RAS decided to reveal Cadderly was renewed and rewarded and young again...in a Drizzt novel.. |

| I don't care very much for Cadderly to begin with, but I think his renewed youth and vitality makes him just one more "hero" who--in the end--doesn't have to pay very much for his victories. |
