I must admit I was not too sure (and still isn't) who would suit the story best AA or ZZ. I guess ZZites are so much more obvious as a possible ploting faction (isn't there always some political tensions between KL & ZZ in Dagori Inkarth) that the players would expect them to try something. In fact, I was thinking of throwing some ZZites into the mix as well to get the players guessing and to get and keep their attention while the more subtle AA would overtake both. Since AA was politicaly quite important in the KoN, I would guess such a move would not be completely outside the realms of possibility from a (fanatic?) faction waiting for the return of the OOO or even working foe his return.

Well, you bring a good point. am I correct if I say AA was the pro-imminent god in the Kingdom of night? If so, was KL was relegated into a reverend, peligious entity only? Did it affect the social position of females in society? Did it go as far as to make the KoN a patriarchal culture (I doubt it)? Or was KL replaced by Xentha in KoN? How did it affect the overall society?
Again I guess a ZZ faction completely taking over on a weaken KL would bring much more change to an uz society and a much more brutal way than AA would.
