Role

Chapter 5

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I have found my place in the Grand Design, once a mere oath, then a servant,
a magician and now and Elite witch. At each point I knew my place and my
tasks, but at all times knew the next step was mine for the taking. The
Dreadlord's seat remains unoccupied and, as Set Law dictates, it is my goal.
The Shadow Lady, Daphrdan, has assisted my work, I know full well what she
seeks, the Emperor will not live forever, though his will is mighty, the hand
of death will touch him eventually. She will seek the throne, and to that end
will see me in the Seat of the Council which will support her effort. So be
it, it will suit my purposes to let her have such glory, for my goals are
longer term, age also hangs heavily on her, and when she is gone.........I
will be poised, transformed and rise to the Throne at the peak of my powers.
Then the world shall know what Order truly is, the Grand Design will unfold
for all, the barbarians, the fortress, the rabble in the tree and those of
the Temple who try to enforce their will. All shall know Darkness and Order.

My visit to the Altar of Destuvius revealed much, works of glory and research
I found there, which has spurred me to continue my treatise on the paths of
Becoming. I will produce this work for my Lord's perusal and ask for it to be
bound and filed within the library. May both it and I be found worthy of his
blessings.
