Role

Chapter 15

Dear Diary,

Sorry I haven't written in a while, but being Emperor is taking up a lot of
time, plus a few other things I see no need to put in print.

Anyway, I have surprisinly found myself the ruler of Thera. That most of
Thera doesn't acknoledge this is something I am still working on but seem to
have things in a little better shape then when I took over. My pedecessor
took to much time minding his harem and not enough ruling, a pitfall I am
trying to avoid.


I have dedicated the Empire to my Goddess. There was surprisingly little
resistance, although I can hear mutterings at times when my back is turned.
There are none who feel strongly enough about it to take action though.

I have filled my council. I feel fairly comfrotable with it. For the most
part, I took the eldest, but it should work. My high priest serves the same
goddess as I, so should be trust worthy. My shadow lord and war master hate
the dread lord, so I actually expect my dreadlord to alert me of any
plotting, since it is doubtful he would become Emperor.

The Empire is a little stronger, but still fairly delicate. When tries to be
aggressive against our enemies, I tend to leave a trail of Imperial corpses
behind me. This is something I need to be mindful of until I have the power
behind me I need.
