There is a lot of information on Zurrernorn derived from speculation based on material from the Web Novel and from posts/tweets by Maruyama-sensei.

Basically, Zurrernorn is believed to be an off-shoot of the worship of Surshana, with a lot of corrupted doctrines and influence from liches and such thrown in. What has been said by Maruyama is often apparently contradictory or ambiguous, and may reflect different versions (much of the material about Zurrernorn in the Web Novel is after the story has diverged completely from the LN).

However, it does seem likely that the original intention of the teachings that became the basis for the Spiral of Death should have been to avoid such an outcome.
