Secrets In Wurm's Blood, Forthcoming Novel That Is Not In the Book But Is Explained Here.

CONCERNING NIFLGAR:

Given the fact that for the most part Niflgar is a barren land of ice the Inhabitants of Niflgar raid other realms/worlds for food, supplies, treasures. Otherwise they settle for the fish or eating the other races within the realm.  The glitter beetles feed off the ice and the droppings of the larger animals, eg trolls, frost giants, and other such creatures.

The reason that Finnart avoids glowing later when in Niflgar as their light source is due to the fact that using his style of magic would immediately alert the Niflgar to their location and intrusion into their realm.

CONCERNING THE SCENE WITH FINNART AT THE SHRINE WHERE HE VANISHES:

This is what actually happened that surprised the guards. Here is what happened that was not seen by Eckerd, Finnart had transformed himself into beetle and had crawled out unseen by the guards from his robes. Frightened at the old man’s abrupt disappearance the guards sounded an alarm. Finnart quickly dug into the snow and was tunneling his way towards the temple ruins in that form. He rejoins them in his smaller form and completely nude, he decides to climb up Eldgrim and sit on his shoulder.

HOW THE GOBLINS GOT RAMBERT'S LEG:

While the body part was being escorted to it's true destination Goblins had raided the humans thinking with that much armor and weapons they had to be guarding something very important in their chest, and decided they wanted it for themselves. Upon realizing it was just a leg they adorned it with jewels and presented it as a scepter for their queen the Goblin Mother, Grizelda.

EXPLAINING GRIMNIR'S STORY:
