And at least in my campaign I've used this as a potential source of tension. Given that my group plays the dreaded Freakish Band of Adventurers (tm), I've been trying to build background tensions for future encounters for the Grazelander members of the group. Certainly such escapes can be exploited either for a short-term scenario or a set of longer tensions if the PC's tend to be affiliated with a particular locale.

My use of Uz mystics probably runs contrary to standard doctrine because it relocates some concepts (from the Kralori to elsewhere). I've used the Black Sun (with heavy changes) as both a mystic and a trickster figure. As a trollish trickster Black Sun is significantly darker and more dangerous. I liked the idea of Black Sun as an "other" to Yelm and the solar pantheon in general. That concept of the "other" and revelation through confrontation of that aspect seems like a good basis for mysticism which would be understandable and presentable to PC's in the course of a game. That's how I reworked it.
