John, good show.

My favorite speck in Sons of Kargzant is BiDulph's Mound, a grave to a Carmanian warlord whose campaigns against the Char were so bloody and violent that the Char-Un were greatly impressed.
Char-Un killed the BiDulph hero of course, but they buried him big. Which gets us to back to the death, killing and gone-y of Vadrus:

So there is a 'Dragon's Strike Back'! (A fabled left out part to the Chapter Two: Before Time Began, from Introduction to the Hero Wars; all waltzing to the dark themes of 'EWFmpire Strikes Back' after 'The New Dragonhunts' and before 'The Return of Orlanth' ;)
Seriously. Peter raises a considerable speculation. At least, and once again, the attitude about Vadrus is IMHO right on the spot.
'The Dragons Had A Grudge' seems more feasible motive than the 'God Learners Wanted The Power Of Wakboth'. Even though the latter motive might be more credible to a modern gloranthan, since Dragons can *not* be understood and God Learners are blamed for some soulless blasphemies.
There is more to Vadrus than is evident in the Old World.
