Quinlan had his plan already set in stone.
Conquer Iskaris first. Escape the sealed continent by unearthing whatever forced them to stay inside. Then came Thalorind itself. Explore the numerous continents. Meet the factions. Observe, study, and attain new spells, fighting styles, classes, rituals - all that could be attained.

In Quinlan's head, he was way out of his league when it came to the matter of the divine. He simply had to run away and attain strength at a quick enough pace to grow strong enough to actually do something about both the seeds and the gods before he was consumed by them.
Only once he conquered Thalorind and attained all he could from the mortal world would he revisit the seed and decide how to approach it safely.
That had been the plan.
