Role

Chapter 5

Pininip has a bit of an issue with scheming. He spends time plotting out a
course for himself to help make magic stronger, but by the end of it the
course ties itself in nots, loops infinitely, and usually explodes into
something entirely different than what he had intended. Fairly typical for a
chaos mage.

After puzzling over his notes from a more recent scheme regarding a follow up
to the Shattering the Veil competition, he started to move forward with a
plan that even he was confused by. He was given a sort of guidance by a
servant of Rahsael named Ash, and after he himself was unable to even begin
to explain what his intentions were, he balled up those papers and started
over.

What he came up with builds upon the Veil competition. He loosely plans to
plant seeds of chaos throughout the various factions of Thera. If the High
Priest of Empire is chasing down objects of great magical importance that
don't exist, she isn't exactly spending time enforcing divine law of the
Empire. If the Fortress of Light is spending time chasing down items of great
power because they think it will help destroy the Chasm, they aren't
following their own paths and enforcement of their creed and various rules.
All the while various items of magic will be given to the couriers of the
veil to continue to thin veil and allow magic to flow freely into Thera.


Pininip even named the venture 'Pininip's Wild Goose Chase' as an ironic
tribute to the fact that there is no real ending to it. Pininip is vaguely
hinting that Argothus the Arch-Mage tasked him to find 3 powerful object
around Thera:


A humming book of ebony and gold smaller than the palm of a giant's hand.


A shimmering robe of an elderly arch-mage with several pockets.


An elemental instrument of fury that pierces deaf ears.


These object may or may not exist, Pininip created them off the top of his
head. He went with generic descriptions that seemed unique and descriptive
enough to actually be real.

Pininip hopes to continue sewing sincere discord throughout the populace as
time elapses that increases magical power while shifting the power of Thera's
greatest to the ends of enhancing magic. He will be planting thoughts and
ideas of greatness in others via 'solving' this magical quest for Argothus.

It will continue until it isn't continuing. This isn't exactly a great goal
or revolutionary plan for Pininip, it is a passing fancy with no clear
conclusion that just happens to amuse him at this time.
