Role

Chapter 5

They are watching me write this, it is very exhilarating. The Druk'Trar are
by far my most favored of all things in this world. I'm observing them even
now, tormenting a conjurer in the streets of Galadon. She is attempting to
crawl away, crying out for help that won't come. That is one truth that I
have found, one great revelation. The 'light' isn't real, there are no 'good'
people. There is no help or hope, you must make your way the best you are
able on your own. If you find yourself completely relying on others, you are
already dead.

I have thought of a plan to gather more information about previous
mage-plagues. I know that I need more information about the history of the
mage plague, or corrupting the nether, from previous times. It is not a new
concept, or at least it is not a new occurrence. Perhaps this is the first
time someone has purposefully tried to bring it about though, in a controlled
fashion of course. I had heard whispers of whispers that a creature called
'the anti-life' brought it about last time, and that it had to do with a
coming age of Thera and the Village among other things. Histories I have
researched have not given specifics. Someone out there knows things, perhaps
the Heralds. They do keep the histories. I know that if I ask directly for
information about bringing back a mage plague I will be thwarted before I've
even begun. To that end I will find a pawn to do my work for me and report
back his findings. I will find someone dedicated to magic and convince him
that there are already mage plagues running rampant, and we need to find
cures. I will ask him to make a calling to Thera to find out what everyone
knows and how to stop the plague from spreading. To this end I will use the
Light among all others to do my bidding, it will be positively delicious. Now
I just need to find someone to dupe and be convincing enough not to reveal my
true goals. It should not be very difficult.

Oh dear, they are watching me expectantly now. It looks like their fun is
over. Is it odd that I feel pleasure and not fear or disgust at this point?
That poor girl is ripped to shreds and they fed off of her fear and despair
for nearly an hour. I do feel my bond strengthening with the Druk'Trar, they
are pleased. And to that end, I will keep them pleased and continue to find
them prey to feed off of. Perhaps soon they will reveal more of their
secrets.
