Well regarding the Hegemony and Gamiricoth, I was thinking that basically he would be fueling the fledgling Marian cult's paranoia and fanaticism. He would whisper in Jamduar's ear and hint to the cult members that it is possible to restore Marius. This leads to the Cult unearthing the forbidden rights that spawns the beings of cold order and dominion, which rapidly destroys a good majority of the already ailing Hegemony (which has already been brutalized by demonic incursions). Gamiricoth, being the evil being he is, basically sits back and revels in the destruction before moving on to sow further evil.

The Hegemony remnant is basically going to try to get back in the Mirusians good graces. Basically they limp back to the alliance members (or former alliance members by this point), and seek to pool their fading strength in a bid for suruvial.

This is a stark contrast to the Bacaanian Eternal Empire, who enter the scene with absolutely no information on the conflict or prior involvement in this specific region of Mirus. The Imperial Expeditionary fleet that stumbles across the forces assailing the Mirusians on the edge of their zone sends out a backup call to other imperial forces. A crusade is called and several fleets descend on the designated expansion zone that has hostile demons in it.

My idea was that the Bacaanians would be similar to how mongol horde was seen by crusaders in the thirteenth century. A powerful force from beyond the edge of know space that is fighting the same enemy, but is not their ally and remains very alien to them. Rudimentary introductions between the two groups would be made, but the Bacaanians basically wage their own war and have little to no involvement in the hunt for the thrones (unless Qliphoggr becomes a threat to the empire as a whole, in which case a Grand Crusade would be declared and the Bacaanians would aid the Mirusians actively).

Of course I have to finish the Bacaanians and all that, but that should not take too long and intend to stick around for more than a week this time.
