>Destruction isn't on the list of Core Runes in HW:RiG,
Annihilation/Void however is in the list of the Five Movements. And just to forestall the kneejerk reaction "that's chaos, innit?", the Malkioni associate the runic sequence with the making of the world and the annihilation rune corresponds to Malkion's sacrifice, a good thing.

Shargash however is both a Great God and not Humakt. Even his "death" is not separation and division (ST p90) but universal destruction. So I do not believe his core nature corresponds to Death.

I have said from the beginning that the RQ3 list is incomplete when it comes to Pelorians and other non-Orlanthi pantheons.
