What is a mage without ambition?

Mediocre, that is what. Or so thought (aspiring) Archmage Rashign Victon,
at least.

He had plenty of ambition. Plenty of ideas. The problem was, noone else in
the High Tower of Sorcery really appreciated his brilliance. He was passed
over again, and again, and again. While many a mage would be content to be
on the fourth floor, he wanted more. So much more. To look down from the
golden throne and for others to know what he already knew: that he was the
best of the best.

What did it matter that most of his inspired ideas fell depressingly flat,
or that he'd not produced anything of substance in literal years. It just
showed he was treading unsafe ground, that he wasn't content with the
already well explored areas, that he was at the cutting edge!

No. Rashign knew he was a genius, and he decided one autumn evening just
how he was going to prove it.

He was going to go where only gods had gone before!

What could possibly go wrong?
