N'Zoth had thoroughly honored his earlier promise.
When Herad created another water-free zone, he met with no further obstacles.
Though the Old Gods were evil, they kept their promises.
Of course, uncontrollable circumstances sometimes arose.
For instance, Naga who had originally been half human and half snake were resurrected by him as half human and half crab, or half human and half fish.
