I'd never picked the Kargan and Kargan Tor link. He's one of the few sub-cults that gives no information about the founder/worshipped being. Not even if it originated int he god's war or time. Interesting too that that sub-cult extends beyond the sword. Someone(thing) named after Kargan Tor? Or a survival of Kargan Tor or some frgament of him? Interesting possibilities.
