What does Kench and Illaoi have in common?
They are both hedonists. In one way and another.

Well, one thing they have in common is i worked on both ;) And they are meant to show two sides of bilgewater's magic.
But Tahm is about unhealthy hungers, repetitive vices, and addictions. He's about not being able to control yourself.
Illaoi does have a view of good and evil-- it's just not in line with judeo-christian beliefs. She's not really a hedonist, as she believes even extreme pain should be endured if it leads you towards your new desires and growth. She's about change. Thus Illaoi doesn't care if you drink, gamble, and sleep around... but if that's all you want to do- then you're stagnating. -- and that's her view of sin.
Yeah, I was actually wondering what Illaoi might make of Tahm Kench. While he's an ancient, sadistic water demon, the way he lives his life seems to be perfectly in line with the teachings of Nagakabouros, which is more important to Illaoi than simple words like "good" or "evil".
The other thing they have in common is an association with the weirder fringes of extreme porn (soft vore and tentacle rape).
The game is more fun when you ban them.
