The best way to achive and maintain as much power as possible is through
order. This order can be enforced on Thera through the Prophecy of the
Eternal Night.

In all orderly rulings there is ultimately one leader, one person who
directs everything with the most power at its fingertips.

That person needs to be Haratzi. Hence he tries to show as much dedication
as possible to the cause to demonstrate his worth and become a leader.

The idea for this came to Haratzi one day when he visited the temple of the
gods and studied one of the windows which exemplified his vision for the
future. An infernal city rising up to a black sky with spires of sooty iron.
Chained trails of slaves labor endlessly for cackling masters whose whips
never stay still for long. White-hot forges pour out the stuff of souls into
molds, arming an army of fiends ready for war at any time. A very few hold
an iron grip on all of this, their power nearly absolute and unchallenged,
and the immense power that they have is enough to make your head spin with
visions of avarice. There is nothing that they cannot have, no place they
cannot conquer.

Kanaevs death is rather imminent and Haratzi hopes to take his place. As
a leader the Planewalker has done little to actually futher the Prophecy.
This is something Haratzi will change and has already small plans developed
to contat the Jagad, the old beast who should hold a very similar desire
to bring forth the Night. Allying with that creature should provide a boost
similar to that which Lord Valguarnera once got from the dark god Jullias.
