Hmm, good thoughts here, good thoughts.

Personally I think that Gwyndolin and Velka have very different goals and methods, Gwyndolin isn't so much punishing people for wrongdoings as he is eliminating threats to the gods and maintaining the current status quo. Velka on the other hand is more personal and simple in how she does things, she punishes due to the actual crime commited, meaning that she's not concerned with who was harmed, but rather that the harm was done.

I think Gwyn gave Seath a dukedom for several reasons:

1. as thanks for his help against the dragons.

2. To get dibs on any information/research that Seath discovered and release in the future, having sorcery on his side granted him another powerful weapon/tool to use.

3. To keep an eye on Seath in general. After all, he was willing to betray his own race to almost total destruction, what's to say that he wouldn't do it again if it benefitted him?
