Role

Chapter 4

Illegal name, try another.
Name: x first swore the Blood Oath, and
much has happened since then. Even as he has risen in prominence
within his Sect, he chaffes at the leadership of the High Priestess,
Rodalrina, whom he considers imperious and inept. So too has Waserax
begun to covet the Throne for his own. To that end, he has forged a
lose alliance with the WarMaster, Hunsubo, whom he considers to be
the most capable of the current council members and most likely to
replace the Empress, Khargurln, whe she steps down or is deposed.
Under the terms of this agreement, should Waserax reach the pinnacle
of his guild before Hunsubo assumes the throne, the WarMaster will
suggest to the Empress that Waserax replace Rodalrina as leader of
the Divine Sect. Should that happen, Waserax will, in exchange, ca
support Hunsubo's bid to replace Khargurln on the throne.

Imperial intrigue aside, Waserax now acts as the Hand of Daevryn, a
role which he relishes moreso even than his duties as Imperial
Priest. He has been tasked with preaching the faith to those in the
Fortress and destroying those who pray to Rayihn. Partially
successful in the first regard, Waserax had a lengthy discussion with
the assassin, Zephon, though it is unknown whether his urgings were
ever acted upon. On the second front he has not yet enjoyed success,
though he has identified several targets for destruction. Soayel,
Aurenna, Phryxal and Halistanis, to start, though there are surely
more. When all is quiet, in his reverie, he plots their doom.

Waserax's general attitude has also changed somewhat since he first
exited the Underdark. His anger and desire for destruction are now
more focused, chiefly on the enemies of Daevryn and those of the
Empire. He has learned some measure of humility, bitter pill though
it was, and for the most part no longer holds the unrealistically
high opinion of himself that he once held. At the moment his primary
goals are to advance in his guild (in order to trigger the conditions
of his agreement with Hunsubo and bring him that much closer to the
Throne), and carrying out the two tasks given to him by Daevryn.
