Was Korgus Dookanson... a true Dookansoon?

​In the game, as far as I remember, the fact that Korgus is a Dookanson is never put into question (perhaps tags with new content in Escann do this, I'm not sure: I haven't had a chance to play as them yet), but is that really the case?

To become a Dookanson, one must pass the Trials of the Dookanson, and Korgus passed them (according to his wiki page), but again, is that true? Let's take a look at them:

  1. ​Draw the Blood of the Sporeweaver, in the heart of their sanctum, and survive. To display the unceasing rage of Dookan himself against all chains.

  2. ​Slay a Great Foe, to water with their blood the chains that Bind Dookan. To display the fervor of his Chosen Son.

  3. ​Pry free the greatest secrets of Zokkorna, the eldestst of the Deepcrows and leave with one's mind intact. To display the cunning of Dookan.

  4. ​To go beyond a great tribe, to forge a total bond of Unity between all Orcs. To display Dookan's connection to all Orckind.

  5. ​To destroy those whose faith in Him has faltered. To destroy the false believers and cast them down, so their souls may be rekindled with His Rage in the next life. To display the love of Dookan for His children.

  6. ​To venture into depths uncounted and commune with the ancestors of the Orcish Race and receive of them their knowledge and wisdom. To display Dookan's knowledge of War and Victory.

  7. ​To venture into Hul-Jorkad, and to return alive with the Mark of Dookan, and be anointed his Son unto the End of Days and Herald of His Liberation.

​But points 4 and 5 were never fulfilled: he didn't unite ALL orcs under his rule. Many orcs remained in the mountains, did not follow the "Dookanson," and continue to believe in old Dookan (for example, the Shattered Crown clan), or are under the heel of the Chimera entirely (the brown orcs). Furthermore, he didn't punish those orcs who didn't follow him—again, the Shattered Crown stands strong, as do the gray orcs who split from the "Dookanson."

​Am I looking for meaning where there is none, or was Korgus truly not a real "Dookanson," but merely the most successful pretender to the title?
