Just a quick comment.

Shargash is a greater god, there is no doubt of that. Not only does he have many aspects, but he also holds the mystical power of dissolution - Rakepas, a great power.

Alkor is actually a sub-cult of his Purifier Aspect. The Purifier is that part of Shargash who cleans the world and its parts by destroying or breaking them and bringing them within for recycling and eventual rebirth. Alkor is that part of Shargash who give fertility to his people. He is father to the Alkothi and gives them fertility and fecundity. The ash ceremonies and the fertility ceremonies are an integral parts of the Alkor rituals and they are prevalent outside the walls and once were common in Dara-ni and all of Henjarl.
