One thing I enjoy about Gortash - aside from the blatantly manipulative flattery that I will still take because I'm shallow - is how he just shamelessly presses any button available to manipulate you. You've decided you don't love daddy anymore and want your freedom? He switches to 'you don't need him, I support you' without batting an eye.

You're still as desperate for daddy to tell you you've done a good job as ever? Well he has plenty of experience working with that particular Durge hang-up. Time to hit the daddy-issues button, praise kink and the sibling rivalry button for extra effect.

Lord Enver Gortash: 'Ah! My dear friend, what a brilliant child you've been to your Father. It must feel good to be the favourite. Orin must still be screaming in the Hells.'

Also him possibly following up with: 'Ah - and my old friend Karlach. It's no wonder your victory was so decisive. How have you been, darling?'

What the hell is shame anyway?

he won’t bite, he's just playing 😌

Gortash is yelling at sewers, because Durge never told him where bhaal's temple is.

Bawi mnie nieskończenie to, że gość ma na imie Mroczna Żądza i tak sie z tym buja całe zycie.

Watching Gortash and his decidedly un-Banite desires to have his authority questioned, valuing and desiring the esteem of another, wanting the Child of Bhaal to step on him: having my Durge rub their bloody little hands over him while looking Bane dead in the eye as they - the barely-divine progeny of his inferior/subordinate - taint his investment/property with disloyal desires and feelings:

Does This Bother You, Lord Bane?

Lets talk about Stillmaker, Durge’s other canon blade

Okay, so we already know that Durge had the Bloodthirst dagger which was created from Bhaal’s own blood and carried by his chosen.

But there is another dagger in the game you can find that also canonically belonged to Durge, Stillmaker.

We see Stillmaker portrayed in Dark Urge’s official artwork, and it’s also Durge’s blade in Idle Champions, as you can see.

I’ve noticed that Stillmaker matches Bloodthirst in design, but it is conspicuously green, as opposed to every other Bhaalian weapon I’ve seen which are red.

You know who else’s canon weapon has the same green coloring? Gortash. And who is the color green associated with? Bane. Stillmaker looks like it was made in the same design to Gortash’s crossbow.

I posit then, that being close to one another as they were, Gortash either made or commissioned Stillmaker to match with Bloodthirst and gifted it to Durge. It’s far more his style in looks, and I feel it’s something he would have done as he describes Durge as his nearest and dearest, and we know they worked very closely together and admired one another.

It truly makes my Durgetash heart flutter!

EDIT: Here is a close up of the weapons together in game!

EDIT #2: We were discussing on discord yesterday, Orin would have of course kept the Bloodthirst blade after dispatching Durge because it’s made of Bhaal’s blood and carried by his Chosen, but she would not have wanted some sugary gift from her sibling’s Ex and probably tossed it away and Dolor ended up with it, and that’s how it ended up in his stash.

EDIT #3: @arikandkade made an EXCELLENT addition to this theory and I’m adding it because it’s just such great information, thank you so much for this info!

Look, at least he tried

I feel like this would've happened if the situation was just a little bit less urgent lol
