Good question, esp. since the name "Orngerin" is already in use for an NPC, and repetition may be "authentic", but causes confusion.

My memories of this are admittedly rather vague, but I thought the king before Broyan/Brian was killed by attempting a HQ that went Horribly Wrong? Wasn't he trying some sort of rescue attempt to bring back the Pharoah? Or something? And came back hideously changed in such a way that his own followers ended up killing him, at his request? I have no idea where I read this, or how "canonical" it may have been, but the concept made a vivid impression.
