The only mage at the moment that has got acces to the "corrupt
bloodline" spell is the Magian and he researched it only fairly
recently. It is a ninth level spell and the Gorgon would probably need a
scroll to cast it from (what lvl mage is the Gorgon anyway?). I am not
sure if the Magian would hand him over a copy. The Magian is evil, but
his goals are quite different from the Gorgon and his methods as a ruler
are also different. His subjects are quite content with his rulership
(no crime, everyone is equal for a fair but harsh law, reseanble taxes),
something the people of Kiergard probably are not. The Magian does want
to conquer the whole continent and to make that easier he creates chaos.
Not to mention that people will accept him as the hero that freed them
from chaos instead of the evil conquerer. The Gorgon creates enough
chaos allready and stengthening his powerbase probably is not on the
Magians agenda. Afterall there will come a time that the Gorgon will be
the direct enemy of the Magian.
While your idea certainly creates a lot of adventure, these facts
should (according to me) be taken into concideration. If you feel the
Magian will cooperate, by al means proceed with the idea. The
negotiations between the Gorgon and the Magian migth actualy create some
plot devices, when the PC's will try to prevent this from happening
(even when they do not know where the negotiations are about). An other
fact is that the Magian has spread some scrolls with the spell
throughout Cerilia (though the spells are disguised as beneficial) and
the Gorgon could have found or knows the location of one of these.
Interesting adventures will arise by PC's and other regents trying to
prevent the Gorgon to get his hands on a spell that increases the
bloodpower. When they find it, they will try it on themselves, to find
out that they have become that what they are fighting: an awnsheiglien.
