Role

Chapter 17

Qileor was selected by Draktel above Hunsobo for the War Master position.
Hunsobo was not surprised. He was not pleased, but Qileor had more standing
in the guild and in the Emperor's eyes, and he knew it would happen.
While Hunsobo believes he is the best choice to lead the Blade, his loyalty
the the Empire is unwavering, and he sees himself as a soldier who does what
he is told.

Recent events unfolded in which Hunsobo gave his life for the Emperor's, as
commanded. Meanwhile Kargthak, who had received the same order, quaffed a
potion of return, and escaped. The Emperor, later that same night, made
Kargthak an Elite Blade, the same rank as Hunsobo. Hunsobo was dismayed. It
It seemed his dedication and loyalty were for nothing?

The next time Hunsobo saw Kargthak, he was Anathema. If this did not weaken
the Empire in the short term, Hunsobo would have grinned maliciously. However,
undisciplined and arrogant as Kargthak was, he was also strong, and could
have at least been a good footsoldier, if he had not been at odds with the
War Master at all times.
