(ahem) The Lightbringer's Quest *was* a Darkness approach to the problem. The problem was: A dead sun god is sitting around in Wonderhome screwing things up. The Darkness solution: Manipulate a bunch of those surface assholes to come down and take the sun back.

I'd expect that almost every culture's big myth is going to be some version of "how we healed the world/ended the Darkness/defeated Chaos". Given that, it's going to be at least *applicable* to resurrection, though perhaps not as directly as the Heortling Li{ght,fe}BringerQuest.

But remember, Argan Argar *is not Uz*. We tend to think of him as Uz, because he's largely worshipped by them and they depict him as an Uzko. But he's a Darkness God, *not* descended from KL or even her close kin.
I could imagine Argan Argar destroying KL and setting himself up as the preeminent darkness god. (Mythically, this might amount to abandoning Wonderhome and establishing the surface world as the Realm of Darkness.) This might cause the Uz to be remade in a form more like AA, or it could destroy them entirely (since AA doesn't really have a "man rune" connection). But either way, this is big juju, say on a par with Storm Bull defeating Wakboth--not something you're going to manage in the course of an ordinary campaign. When your heroes have pulled down the Red Moon, ridden the Great Sea Dragon, and pulled on Harrek's cape, it'll be time for them to think about the "Argan Argar kills Kyger Litor" quest...

Let's not go overboard here, or we'll end up with "D'wargon = Nysalor = Gbaji = Arkat = Eurmal"...
