Considering how fearful Gwyn/everybody is of mere Humans, I doubt the GoW would be left with his power/memory intact - he'd just be too much of a threat if he ever sought revenge. Finally, literally every Undead in this game is immortal, so immortality doesn't matter - EXCEPT for the fact that the Gods couldn't kill him! This only leads me to believe more that he would be stripped of his power/memory, because they can't just up and kill him and be done with it.
Now, this is purely my logical thinking, I'll admit...but if I had to exile a General in my army, I sure as sh*t wouldn't let him keep the nukes, ya know?
The only source we have that the gods feared the humans is Kaathe, and almost everyone agrees that the serpents can't be trusted. Even if the serpents could actually be trusted, you NEVER trust someone's statements about their opponent. In politics, if yuo believe what the parties say, NEITHER side looks competent enough to run a 7/11, let alone a country. For all we know, Gwyn went to link the fire to PROTECT us. Hell, I'd trust the judgement of someone who has actual experience with something about whether that thing is good or not.
