Role

Chapter 7

Everything started when Sel was asked by Aurew to come save an orphan that
had wandered into the Fortress. He worked with Malgren and Graitel to try and
save the child's life. What he found out was that a Fortress member had
killed an innocent guard in their pursuit of evil. Which lead to both the
child's mother and the child to take their life. Sel tried to explain through
art that those of the Empire had acted more noble than the Fortress in this
case. That they needed to be better.


Aurew told him he was a mad man that he was only trying to corrupt their
t. This hurt Sel deeply as he was already forcing himself to avoid indulging
in his addiction to capturing shapeshifters in hopes of seeking out
redemption. How could she expect so little of him?


He was shaky in his wonder if he should aid the Fortress or not.
Considering how they have demonized him for so long. It took Cexonza being
skinned alive for Sel's mind to snap. All he saw was his beautiful wife
always being stronger and better than them. Wondering why the Fortress was
such a terrible place. At this point he made a plan to find a way to cause
them as much trouble as possible. He never thought things would work out as
they did.


The worst of it all was that he realized Sayra was intent on taking High
Herald from him. After reading one of her poems he wrote his own. Betrayed
talking of how hurt he was she was trying to upstage him but he realized
slowly that his path to disrupt the Fortress would eventually get him booted
from the Heralds. So he was now intent on leaving the Heralds once everything
was said and done.


Little did he know that Sayra had planned to get rid of him so that she
would be the sole star of the Inn. Misunderstanding that Sel never cared
about such things. Spending years adding more foolish titles making fun of
himself. Prepping her to take over as High Herald so he could leave the
Heralds with it being in good hands. At this point he realized he might have
a chance to destroy the Fortress if he set things up. Which he explained in
his written work on it.


(I realize I should of put this in as a role prior but I had made most of
this clear through Sel's artworks. It appeared as if it was figured out as
they were trying to get rid of Sel)


Sel moving forward seeks out the Outlanders to help fight against slavers and
live happily with his wife and various beasts. Away from the world after his
Magnum Opus finally is completed.
