Role

Chapter 1

His plans began to coalesce, but the work was very slow. Aorsax found himself
at times descending into chaos. As he struggled to amass wealth, he wore
a new face at every turn. Always he fought with profit in mind, and the notions
of good and evil were foreign to his thinking.

But his aspect and his words did shift from sanctimonious righteousness,
to impassivity, to wickedness - and he transitioned with great ease among his
personae.

And one day the thought crept into his mind, as he boasted his piety to a denizen
of the holy fortress, that he might actually believe the words he spoke. This
trickle of thought soon became a flood, and self-doubt wracked Aorsax.

Exercising his will, Aorsax did his best to bury his inner turmoil beneath his web
of facades. But at times he seemed to be changed. Not quite so calculating,
and at times impulsive, the forces of chaos seemed to tug at Aorsax, sometimes
robbing him of reason altogether.
