Well, Gren could act as the protagonist. He's the nicest character, even more than Feros and pre-Az-Sho slaying Corvus. And in a crapsack world like this, that is not a hard thing to do.

Don't forget Sabt Golgo how? She'd just hang in the background, being all mysterious and shit. Maybe eating everyone in the sequel, perfect ally betrayal.

I don't think this would make a very good series. There's really no-one sympathetic and interesting enough (well, Gren is getting shit done now) to act as a protagonist, and Udil would be too much of a Villain Protagonist. Udil would be a good player character for a God of War type of game, though, atleast pre-godhood.
True, although the plot would be at least somewhat balanced toward Neyravah because They never actually did anything malavolent toward Udil.

Well, Gren could act as the protagonist. He's the nicest character, even more than Feros and pre-Az-Sho slaying Corvus. And in a crapsack world like this, that is not a hard thing to do.
I appear to have become some sort of symbol of downfall or something.

I meant that he was a lot less willing to bend his rules before his ally got slain. Then he went "shit now I have to survive no matter what" and things escalated.

Nelkathar and Taurig are with Neyravah as little more than a footnote I guess.

Corvus would make a great protagonist.

Not really Vgray. Even I admit that. He's not that sympathetic as a viewpoint character. He's probably be viewed at best as a Byronic hero/hurting hero, by most as a flawed but good intentioned person who's troubled, at worst as a demonic figure of cowardice and paranoia.

Idea! The whole story is narrated from the point of view of the Overgod(s). With all the bias that implies.

Just as Az-SHo could be viewed at best as a caring father figure who wanted to protect his children and was struck down by a trusted ally, at worst a greedy bastard who was consumed with rage and was only put down before he caused greater destruction.

The best narrators would be Corvus, Fatianna or Sabt Golgo. Or Lo,if she ever finds out from Corvus the history of the world. This would apply to Fatianna as well.

Aye. Probably Fatianna due to being the least involved and thus the least biased.

Mutare for being an arrogant douche who thinks he can do what he likes...

This sounds a lot like Udil-Volondor, right now.

Of course, Kar'lan has pieced together the world's history by looking through the memories of an unknown number of souls.

Sabt Golgo has been there from the beginning, but her narration would be something like; 'And then the petty, hated immortals bickered for their little world for a few centuries until something interesting happened.'

Gods get like that. It's mainly due to Sapt Golgo's protection that he's still alive, else I would've spitted him.
She really doesn't have a reason to mantain that now that he's not an agent of change but rather the head of the new order - that will last forever. I remember Golgo hating that concept.

Actually, yeah. Corvus, Sabt Golgo and Kar'Lan would be good narrators because they know everything that has happened, and aren't going to veer too far from the truth (no matter how much Corvus hates Udil/Vanida he has to tell the truth to teach), and Fatianna, Lo and Magnus because they are the least biased.
