For Urox, I think it's a combination of three things:
- He's the last holdout during the Darkness. He's the god who keeps on
fighting when everyone else is dead. Not surprising that he'd be the one
holding on through Fimbulwinter.
- He's not a Kerofinela wind--he's the desert wind blowing in from Prax.
All the winds in Dragon Pass have stopped, but the dust storms keep rolling
in from the east.
- He's just too dang ornery to be stopped. Killed all the gods? Sorry, I'm
the Storm Bull, a Great Spirit. Stopping the spirits? Whoops, didn't you
know I'm his most gracious ass-kickitude St. Taurox? Closed down all the
otherworlds, did you? Well, I'll just sit here in the Unending Battle until
you look away--surprise! I'm back! He's a weirdo, and none of your normal
plans will do anything about him. Your best bet is to get him drunk, then
leave town while he's puking.
