Hey! So, one of my EC players has a tie to Proteans (she's a Witch), and I was delighted to read in the Zevgavizeb gazetteer that he was originally a Qliphoth Lord turned into a Demon by the Proteans to cause instability in the Abyss. I'm thinking it could be a great story beat for my campaign to have the Proteans reveal themselves to the Witch and explain why they've put her on the path to stop Sarvel Everhunger that she's on, and explain their involvement with the very problem they now face. I'm wondering... Could I swap out Bokrug with a Qliphoth of some description? Maybe Dagon, another former Qliphoth Lord? Is there someone else more thematic to put into Willowside?
Dagon seems like an excellent choice as the main thrust of Bokrug seems to be the focus on the sea, the corrupting influence and a secret cult. I do get a bit of a Lovecraftian vibe anyway, especially with the dreams going on, so Dagon would totally double-down on that influence to me. If I had to nitpick, I'm not sure what replacing Bokrug with Dagon would do for story beats, but it could be an interesting demonic power-game where they're hoping to reduce Zevgavizeb's power and replace it with Dagon and this is just the first step in establishing a greater worshipping base. That maybe there's an unsurping thing going on by the end?
