anyway, just obsessed with the idea of twin gods, so closely entwined, that no one can agree if they were actual twins or just inseperable lovers. turns out, it's both
born into this world, together from the beginning until their end, staying together by any means necessary. obsession so complete the rest of the world might as well not exist, everything they do is for each other. brocon, if you will
also back to the topic of perception, i like the idea of hnzo being seen as cruel, as death often is. it could be because him guiding people through the beyond could be misconstrued as him leading people away from ever being able to reawaken. it could be that after the gods are locked away, people think he has simply abandoned them to walk the beyond on their own, as retribution for not following him diligently enough, or for not honouring him and his twin enough, or maybe as petty revenge. hnzo, who dedicated his life to guiding the lost and the dying and those in uthenara, remembered over time as being the one who takes loved ones from their families, as the one who selfishly steals souls for himself, as the one who makes sure lovers are forever separated unless they dedicated themselves unfalteringly to both him and gnji or else. if gnji hadn't disappeared at the same time as hnzo, Fear and Deceit would not rest until their master had sought personal revenge on every person who dared think badly of his twin
clans outside of those who dedicate worship to faln'din and dirthmen growing to resent them, as people tend to grow to resent everything to do with death, and gnji and hnzo using their dragons to curse those who curse their twin
someone curses faln'din for guiding their mother away when sickness takes her too young? Fear comes to feed and feed until faln'din comes to guide them to their resting place, dirthmen smug at his side, oh what a shame this one passed so young as well brother, how kind of you to guide them along in their moment of need, hanging off of hnzo the entire way, throwing cruel looks over hnzo's shoulder as they pass into death
someone lying to their partner, invoking dirthmen as if to show their dedication but just using him to hide their betrayal? faln'din catches wind, as he always does when he hears his twin's name, and would you look at that, they see hnzo in their dreams, think it maybe a prophecy, but never wake again. ideally, in some way as to reveal their treachery, for example dying after a night with an illict partner, with no way to explain why they were together that night. hnzo tends to not involve gnji in these moments, but gnji always knows when hnzo is feeling particularly... dedicated
