I liked the idea that the trolls tried to help the Only Old One each year, but the Pharaoh came back every year and pushed the sword just a little bit deeper. Now that he's gone, there's nobody to push and twist the sword ....

Or perhaps the Only Old One did.

Did the Pharaoh fight Caladra? I know he was thrown into a volcano, then popped up again and became the Volcano's Eternal Sacrifice, being sacrificed every year and popping up again afterwards. But, did he actually fight Caladra, apart from escaping he warm embrace?
