The Maestro Master of War

Success in the face of all odds. Zanzar had pulled all the strings he had,
played a dangerous game by putting the Shadow lord against the Emperor over
something so simple as a treasure, and Zanzar's silver tongue and resources
had paid off. His events set off a chain reaction that exposed the Shadow Lord
as a traitorous fool, and Zanzar had promised the now new Shadow Lord that he
would make the seat vacant for him. Zanzar now had immense favor from the
Shadow Lord, in his pocket in many ways. Even if the Emperor feared his rise,
it was inevitable. The War Master placed between him and the Emperor was dead
and gone, and Zanzar had finally been named the War Master as he deserved. He
had influence and control now, but the stakes had never been higher. This was
no time for Zanzar to rest, at the height of his renown. As he was pulling his
strings, the sects had fallen apart. The Empire's army had dwindled down, the
Emperor's only care seeming to be the souls he put in his spear.

Zanzar was displeased at the state of the army. There was rarely an army at
all, and few other than the Shadow Lord he respected that would face the
fiercest odds with him. The Shadow Lord was a good shield, he was reckless
with his life at times but this allowed Zanzar to survey the battlefield and
learn his enemies tactics. He was a master tactician, he had been defeated but
had never fallen in battle. He was of no use to the Empire as a broken body,
and his reputation stood far above his own skills. He needed to carefully
choose his tactics as he recruited with the bloodoath, and built up his sect.
He would make the other sect leaders look poor by finding the finest fighters
in the lands and building up the blade sect. If the Emperor would not build an
army, then Zanzar would. And that army would have loyalties to him, enabling
him to deeply influence each of the sects from the bottom up. It would not be
an easy task, but he was committed to success.
