Relationships
The Three-Faction Alliance (Lost City War): Sabazios · Gorm · Usimagarus → allied under King Alekazar against Zargon
The Death Gods: Madarua (life/death cycle) and Thanatos (the moment of death) are related but distinct. Thanatos merely closes the door; Madarua governs what comes before and after.
The Great Enemy: Zargon was the enemy of all the above. His cult massacred Gorm’s Brotherhood, burned Usimagarus’s Great Library, and defiled Madarua’s dead. The party ended him.
Father & Son: Set created Zargon. Whether Zargon was a willing instrument or a tool cast aside is unclear.
