Knights of Tezoth

Sounds like too obvious a self-repeat. In this expedition we already have a heel faction causing enormous harm to all of Tezoth. I believe things are more complex with Deus. Yes, it's more than likely that the Sithian woman wants to become empress and thus elevate herself to top-2 among her people, but does Deus even care about the Sithian queen? Maybe the pair wants to sever ties with Sithia entirely and build their own empire that belongs only to the two of them.
