Whatever happened to "Buisness before Pleasure"?

[King of Nowhere]

My issue is expecting Tarquin to regard Xykon as a major threat. It's that Laurin and Myron should have some kind of a problem with Tarquin committing substantial resources to a goal that not only is no use to them, but that is intended to end in their empires' ultimate defeat.

Maybe they all share tarquin's opinion that some hero would come along sooner or later and defeat them all, so it may as well be the son of the party leader to make a better story.
