Not a bad idea.  Here's mine, spun off of yours.

How about the Gods find out there's a traitor among them, helping the
Jenoine to come in - but the only way to truely close the door is to
end the cycle.  And doing that requires unanimity among the Gods, so
Vlad is hired to take out the dissenter.  Neatly bring Dragaera as we
know it to an end, and makes a nice exit note for Vlad.
