Laws are in place to protect.
Laws allow any who are smart enough to rise in power. For it is more then
just brute strength, but wit and charisma to clime the ladder of power and
authority. They protect that which you earn and obtain, and allow you a path
to ever keep those whom are unfit to rule to rise in power. The savage and
uncouth flaunt their chaotic ways, yet they shall never establish a true
base to build their power upon. For they tear each other down thinking to
live in anarchy. An uncivilized barbaric time.

Araristara shall ever use the laws of both the Empire and Tribunal to
maneuver herself into power. To flaunt before those whom would hunt her as
she remains safe behind the law. To use it to punish any whom would stand
against her, and find a way to use the law to tear down her opponents
without having to get her own hands dirty. More so, the laws are a way for
the masses to think they are on equal footing with you, yet it binds them
into a set response.

Banks are in place to protect your wealth.
It is well known that power is but one path to rule the world, while the
other is wealth. Yet wealth can be such a fickle mistress which can be
stripped at a moments notice. Bandits and savages line the road seeking to
part you from your wealth, as they are jealous of such. What better way then
to use the banks of Thera to ensure the safety of ones power source. More so,
to use the banks to be the coffers of others so that they depend upon you as
a source of coin. Ever get your servants addicted to coin and wealth and
there is nothing you can not buy.

Araristara understands this as many ever seek coin within the Empire. Knowing
how to maneuver such coin, she will seek to be a banker of sorts for all the
sects. To have them trust her with not only coin but with all things of
value. She shall be the bank of coin and the bank of secrets.

Those in power shall be worshiped and obeyed
Without a proper structure of power, then it is pointless to seek power
yourself. By holding to a strict hierarchy one ensures that when you obtain
power that you too shall be obeyed and worshiped. More so, by respecting
those of power you climb the ladder of power yourself.

Araristara knows that power comes in many forms, yet she needs those of
greater power to achieve such. Only by worshiping and obeying them shall the
path to power open up to her. She can smile while giving platitudes and lip
service, knowing that her time shall come. Let the people have their titles,
for she is willing to work in the shadows for true power. Araristara seeks to
be the true master of puppets behind the throne, getting everyone to dance to
her tune.
