I've made my intent to become a lich openly known throughout the empire.
Usually, my predecessors would keep this a secret until the process was
complete. I however have decided to 'involve' my colleagues in this. My hope
is that it will make them feel a part of this and feel a sense of victory
from its completion.

It also enstils a sense of trust in the emperor and council. Misplaced as it
may be.

I wait to speak to the high priest again, having gathered his 'price' of
several artifacts from the ancient dragon lairs. His shattered mind is only
capable of consciousness from time to time, it requires me to be vigilant and
try to find him at just the right time so I can begin the process of
gathering the elixir ingredients.

I look for the unspoken one to begin the process of unseating the empror. He
has shown just how useless he is. His lust for blood is all that drives the
old man anymore and the empire turns to ash at his feet.

The empire is in danger of ceasing to exist and I've also the bargain I've
made with the lord of loss that requires doing, lest I be in a poor position
indeed.

My texts for the lyceum near completion and my own personal texts go well. I
suspect they will serve me well after the ascension.
