Yeah, this is likely, although I think he tried to heal the chaos gods themselves of their Evil. In a myth, perhaps, using =
"Vivamort" is OK, given that Vivamort isn't a god, but rather a =
personification of Chaos'/Void's Hunger. AFAIK. =
Arroin's Failed CA Aspect mustn't be ignored, though. =
Arroin does still exists, even after these very close encounters with the Void. By all rights he should have been completely blasted away, even from memory. I like to see this as indirect proof of =
a former greatness, although this is very definitely *not* the only possible solution for Arroin's survival. =
Arroin's survival might have been nothing but a fluke of the Gods' War, were it not for his real power among the aldryami.
Among the orlanthi, Arroin is most likely a cult for cowardly, =
unvirtuous (Arroin refused the LBQ), weaklings. For men who do women's work. Other versions of Arroin undoubtedly exist, away from the mainstream of orlanthi culture. Arroini sorcerors, and =
Arroini combat medics, *if* they existed, would probably be =
perceived by mainstream orlanthi as being weaklings too.=
