>Didn't vandus just die but give Khul a Pyhrric victory?
In danwbringers khul was being active in aqshy again after spending khorne knows how much time battling in ghur to clear his mind, and vandus took the chance to hound him again and finally have vengeance.
the basic beats of the subplot are about how vandus got increasingly obsessive about fighting khul, to the point he almost completely abandoned the protection of a dawnbringer crusade to go hunt khul with his army instead, and to the point his friend ionus (the lord relictor from the starter box that's now a special character on dragon) is worried his humanity is eroding away fast; on the other hand khul finally realised that his obsession for vandus's skull was HIS obsession, not khorne's, khorne doesn't really care, khul's own attachment to the oath he made and thought important was what kept him from reaching demonhood, so by vacationing in ghur he got to appreciate again the little things in slaughter, fighting for fighting's sake and spilling blood regardless of whence it spills from, and now in aqshy he's finally on the brink of demonhood and finally on the same battlefield as vandus.
