(view spoiler)[First of all, I need to say that I love your books and I hope that you will become a morw popular author so soon.
My question is about the fall of Citadel. In Paladins series, it is said that Velixar destroyed the Citadel, but in the end of the Clash of Faiths (i guess), Darius killed him so easily as soon as he joined Ashhur's side. How did he manage to get killed so easily? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[So there's a couple things to this, and if you have not read the Half-Orcs, bear in mind, this answer is absolutely a spoiler for events in that series.
Okay, so Velixar is originally from the Half-Orcs. Jerico is as well, first appearing in the third novel, The Death of Promises. So when I wrote the Paladins, a spinoff of the Paladins, I also thought it'd be fun to bring Velixar along with him.
So the short of it is: Velixar is not dead. Far from it. He's an undead monstrosity, with a whole lot of story left in him, most of it taking place across the entire Half-Orc series.
As for how Darius took him down: a large part of it, if I remember correctly, was that Darius caught him off guard. He literally drew his sword and swung in a single motion before Velixar could react. And, well, it's a really big heavy sword flaring with Ashhur's power.
As for destroying the Citadel, Velixar used a lot of manipulation to do it, and doesn't even get full credit (there's another servant of Karak who worked inside the Citadel, preparing it for its collapse, that's touched on in the Half-Orcs as well). (hide spoiler)]

Can I please pitch you an idea for sequel to the vagrant gods please? I relinquish any claim or right to any profit generated out of this idea. Ultimately it’s about Cyrus developing a cult following as he sparks revolutions across the former.
Another idea—the prime opposition is the usurper kings son a distant relative to the god incarnate.
